Re: Document Library - How do I remove "Title" property?

gfpilot2...@yahoo.com (spconsultant) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:17:59 UT

NEVER delete/remove the title property! It is used internally and
is a reserved word. (That is why there is not Delete option). If you
find it annoying, to have it on your forms and lists, you could not
display it. and you could create customized edit/new forms that
do not display it, or simply rename it and use it for some other

1. Does index work on all the document content or only on the
metadata? to my understanding it works on all the document data. If
so:
2. Does the search work with an "AND" between all the search phrases?

2. Does this issue happen on all the web applications, or just one of

3. If it is happening to all the webapplicaitons, does it affect the

machine to see if it makes any difference. If you have created a
