We are using webinator search to catalog a site that contains copyright
and trademark symbols. When performing a search for text that would be
followed by a copyright symbol the Webinator Search engine works as
expected, bringing up the pages that the text is on. However, when
searching for text that is followed by a trademark symbol (i.e. AzoptTM)
by searching for Azopt the search engine returns nothing. If you search
for Azopttm the correct page shows up. I seems that Webinator is
treating the trademark symbol as part of the actual word and cataloging
it as one word.
The only way I see to solve this is creating a small TM graphic and
using that rather than the <sup>TM</sup> or ™ or &trade (all which
do not return correct page). Is there another way around this. Thank
you for any assistance.
