A search executed in Outlook will query the database of zarafa-search (zarafa-indexer in Zarafa 6.40.x - 7.0.x). To enhance the search results Outlook will divide certain words in individual tokens, depending on the language set in the language bar of Windows.
For example: searching for the word Sauermann or Dauermann in a German system. These words will be split into mann and Sauer/Dauer. In a Dutch system the name Timmermans will be split to mans and Timmer.
To only search for the whole word the search-term has to be endorsed in angle brackets ( < and >).
Note
The same accounts for hyphenated words like part-time. Searching for this will give all results matching either part or time. Only searching for <part-time> will give only results matching both words.
