Including '&' character in a search

Post by joseph.gresham »

Hi

Which option do I need to set to enable me to include the '&' character in a search query.

Any attempt to run such a query results in the following message "WARNING: Index expression(s) do not match term `&'".

I know this is posible because searching for "Webinator & Texis" on your site returns pages that contain both words.

Thanks in advance.

Add or modify a "word expression" for such terms. The default expressions allow for it to be embedded so you can find things such as "at&t" but it doesn't provide for searching for "&" by itself. I believe our site search is setup to just strip lone & from the query.
