Hi,
in our BAP we use some generated strings to identify entities. These strings include a “/” in the middle (e.g. “AB/0001” or “123/345”). However, it seems like the “/” causes the search function to identify the string as two separate “words”. Therefore, it’s not possible to search for the whole string, only for one of the “words”. For expample, searching for either “AB” or “0001” will both show the entity with the identifier “AB/0001” but typing in “AB/0001” will lead to no results. Why is that and what can we do to change this behavior?
Cheers,
Lea
Hi @lea-clear-clover
The data services documentation talks about removing special characters from the Full Text Search per default (see here). This might be why the two separate parts work but not the whole as “AB0001” != “AB/0001”
There’s also another thread here, https://discourse.geta12.com/t/approximate-search-a-special-character/2239 which talks about a different special character and the solution.
Does this point you in the right direction?
