Hi Team,

Column_value = "560 TRUMPELL LANE æøå"

Above data is residing in particular column of two different tables.

query 1 : select * from address where contains (address_1,:search_criteria)>0

query 2 : Select * from customer_details where contains (complete_address,:search_criteria)>0

I am passing input 314 for both queries , I am able to get data in case of query 1 only.

I am unable to understand why this is happening. My requirement is to search string using only CONTAINS Function.

Could you please suggest on this.

You should not get results from either query with only the minimal data and search string that you have provided. You need to provide a more complete example, as I have done below, including a copy and paste of your results. You should check to see that your indexes are current and check whether either is a multi-column index which may be searching other columns that you are not aware of. If you just use select * with your queries, you may see that your 314 is in another column.
