Hi Nuno,

What type of search do you mean: filters, free-text search, instant/suggested search?

For some filters a keyword analizer is used - so there is no need to escape characters here

For free text searche you may try to use quotes: "search" or 'search'

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

I was refering to Filters. It was searching in the Summary field. In this specific situation we needed to escape chars. How could I achieve this?

Keyword: m-lok

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi Nuno,

summary field is handled by standardanalyzer.. and it seems you has found a best solution with +

I can't yet suggest better one. Thought it seems there is a problem here, word with digits after "-" (x-999,yy-555) are searched fine, but your case not.

I will investigate the case, hope it is possible to fix

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks. I will be waiting for your feedback.

Hi Nuno,

it seems I had found a great solution...

added it to 8.5.1 and newer versions

All problems should be gone!

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

Can you tell me which specific versions?

Thanks,

Nuno

Hi Vladimir,

We have also trouble handling special characters as kolon ":" as these are not escaped. Please see this link http://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping%20Special%20Characters

Best regards, Anders

Hi guys,

yes, all these characters should work now. Only action is required: search phrase should be taken in quotes.

it will be in the nearest hotfixes: 8.5.1.18, 8.6.0.4 and in 8.6.1 (I hope that I don't lie with minor numbers...)

Best regards,

Vladimir
