Search Ignore Dashes

Ashley 13 Jun 2013 17:41 question, complete

We would like to search a field that contains numbers and dashes, but we dont want the user to have to include the dashes in order to come up with the correlated number. We have tried adding a - to the ignore words, but the dash doesnt stay in the setting. (After we save and come back the dash is gone.)

Is there another way around this? Thanks,

    If you're using Keyword search to search for a phone number, the dashes will already be filtered out.

    If you're using a search:field option, you'll need to use JavaScript to format the input the way you want before the form gets submitted.
