Forward Slash In Field Breaking Search
Hi,
When searching across fields that have a forward slash "/", no keywords after the forward slash are pulled into the search results.
For Example:
Title field: Nike/Adidas Page
Nike will show in the search results. Adidas will not show.
If I've done something wrong, please let me know.
Thanks!

Ah, that would be because the slash is stripped out. Couple of ways around it:
- Add space(s) around the slash in your title field
- Enable loose ends in your search
- If you're running Low Search 1.0.6, open up low_search/helpers/low_search_helper.php in a text editor and change line #111 to
$chars[low_chr($k)] = ' ';(with a space between the single quotes)JS 28 Sep 2011 15:04
Hi Low,
Using all 3 of the steps above, it worked.
I wish Low Search had the functionality, with only loose ends enabled, to accomplish this without modifying entries and code... since I will probably update the module in the future and forget the modify the php file.
Thanks for the help.

Cool, glad it's working.
Note that any one of the three options I listed should solve the issue; you don't need to implement all three.
I'll probably look into working the third option in the core.

Loose ends were enabled before I contact support. Not 100% sure, but I don't think the spacing in the titles was working until the code modification was complete. Since I completed the code step last, I'm not sure if it would have worked independently, but all 3 do work together.
Thanks again.
