Why am I getting zero results when using Find and Replace to update punctuation in CONTENTdm?

Symptom
  • When using Find & Replace to update punctuation on CONTENTdm Administration, 0 results are returned
Applies to
  • CONTENTdm
Resolution

The Find & Replace tool in CONTENTdm Administration uses similar search functionality as that of the public-facing website. Because of this, it is not a reliable tool for replacing punction in records, and a manual audit of metadata is recommended instead.
