Searching for text strings containing non-alphanumeric characters

Post by Psider »

Hi all,

We have some text strings our users search on that contain symbols like $. However searching for these strings in HTML5 output doesn't return any results. Do you know if there's any way to get the search working for these symbols? We are using MadCap Search and have "Exclude non-words from search" turned off.

Thanks in advance

Interestingly the search in Side Nav seems to find strings with non-alphanumeric characters ($, #, &). I'm unsure why side nav and tripane would use different searches, but there you go. :)
