   The keywords filter effectively only searches letters (and digits). Any punctuation is ignored. This is not a setting you can disable/enable; it's by design.
   
   That said, all three entries *should* be returned with those settings; check the template debugger for lines that mention Low Search for more clarity as to what's going on.
   
   Also, if you're searching for substrings, you might be better off using the Field Search filter instead.

   Hi,
   
   I using field search (search:title=""} and Low Search results 3 entries as my expect, thank Low!
   
   But I have a small problem, now I cant highlight the keywords using this:
   
   

   {exp:low_replace find="{low_search_keywords}" replace="<span class='keyhl'>{low_search_keywords}</span>"} 
     {low_search_excerpt} 
    {/exp:low_replace}

   
   
   {low_search_excerpt} now return the field I setting in channel (it cant choose title as excerpt) not the field I setting in Low Search (title as excerpt).
   
   Thank Low!

   Highlighting is only available in keyword searches, I'm afraid.
   
   But as I mentioned, the keywords filter *should* return all three items. You can check the exp_low_search_indexes table to see what exactly is stored in the index database for each of those entries, and you can enable the template debugger/output profiler to see what queries are generated and which results are returned. What does that tell you?
