CONTAINS not working

I have the following query that returns properly.


select * from Resume 
where Resume_ID = 4187300
AND CONTAINS(Resume_Desc, '"Series 7"')

That would be great but if I do a search of the 'Resume_Desc' field I do not have a phrase that is 'Series 7'.

So I found another phrase without a numeric value and then removed one character 'n' from Centers.


select * from Resume 
where Resume_ID = 4187300
AND CONTAINS(Resume_Desc, '"AAMCO Ceters"')

The result is as expected and no results show up.

Does a number in a phrase equal a wildcard in CONTAINS?

Thanks for any advice.
