Unexpected search results in Foundation 2010 when using uppercase characters.

I have a strange Issue I hope someone can help me with in SharePoint Foundation 2010.We store our invoices within SharePoint in .pdf form. I have loaded the Adobe pdf iFilter so that we can search the content of the PDF's

If I search for a specific invoice say mad15000363 I get 1 result which is what I would expect, however if I search for MAD15000363 I get all sorts of results , the common denominator of which seems to be that the search has found 15000 within the PDF. I have confirmed that the results of the search for MAD15000363 do not contain MAD15000363 by opening each PDF and using the Adobe Reader search function to search for the term.

I have tried searching using quotes around the MAD15000363 but this makes no difference. also I tested by search with only 1 capital letter at the beginning which only give me 1 result, the same with any combination of 2 capital letters. as soon as I add in the 3rd letter as a capital I get the spurious results.

Any help to explain this behaviour would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
