We have some slightly strange behavior in the search bar in an Overview that I don’t understand. Some special characters appear to “activate” a more intensive approximate search match. For example:
| Search | Results | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge | 43 matches | Finds Bridge as a complete word |
| bRiDgE | 43 matches | Approximate search match appears to be on but not functioning as expected |
| Bridge* | 61 matches | The extra matches have Bridge as a substring, e.g. BridgeMaker, BRIDGECONSTRUCT,… |
The Fields are marked with the appropriate “enable_approximate_match_search” annotation.
Is this to do with
mgmtp.a12.dataservices.search.analysis.full-text.escape-special-characters.enabled, see here? If so, is there any documentation what functionality the following special characters, + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \, have?
