Unable to search two words seperated with a colon

I have a document that contains the two words seperated by a colon–  abc:xyz.
I am unable to search for these two words together. For example, entering the following in the Explorer search box produces no results:

'abc:xyz'
"abc:xyz"
abc\:xyz
"abc\:xyz"

Of course I am able to search abc or xyz.
Please let me know how do I search these two words together separated by a colon.

Hi Ashokharnal ,

In Alfresco  when any property is defined using Content Model , you can also decide whether  you want to maintain indexes for the property value.
Indexes has four parameters out of which one is tokenized . see the code snippet below
<property name="custom:name">
               <title>Name</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            <index enabled="true">
              <atomic>true</atomic>
              <stored>false</stored>
                                <tokenised>false</tokenised>
                         </index>
</property>

In your case if you make tokenised as false  , you should be able to search complete string.

Thanks,
