Searching for Dots. and brackets) and o on ..

Post by Peter2_1 » Tue Sep 12, 2023 7:41 am

Joomla 4.3.4, PHP 8.1.7

In my articles - in body and in title - I use sometime dots and brackets, like

... "Chapter 1) Introduction"
... "Version 2.3.4" ...

How can I set my search function for searching
1)
or
2.3.4
?

At the moment, it seems that these characters are ignored.

Go to Components - Smart Search - Options and the Index tab. Set 'Filter Numeric Terms' to No.

Thanks toivo
but I just see that my problem is another one.

Example:
- I search for "21" and get 90 results.
- I search for "21. " - and get again 90 results which means: it shows me all "21"

But I need only the results for "21. "
Is it possible?

Peter
