I tried to use the phrase "glad you're happy" in a Feedback comment, but got an SQL error. I found that I could avoid this by typing "glad you\'re happy", & the backslash does not appear in the feedback message as displayed. |

I've noticed apostrophes, colons, semi colons etc cause problems with the search too. |

This is presumably a wrong escape'ing of characters (on feedbacks) for quote/apostrophes. I moved the topic to "bug reports". hippiedalek wrote: I've noticed apostrophes, colons, semi colons etc cause problems with the search too. Do you have an example with semi-colons? Regards, Julien |

Sorry, when I look into it now it seems I was getting confused with another problem I've had when searching with colons; if a title includes a colon and I don't search for it with a colon then it won't return the result. for example searching for "Star Trek The Screen Voyages I to VI" won't return "Star Trek: The Screen Voyages I to VI" Sorry, I should have double checked before adding to this thread, my only defence is that I posted before my morning coffee. |

the only issue that i can think of is: yor: the hunter from the future. if you do a search for YOR you get pages of stuff. if you do a search for YOR: then you get 10 things. i know there were others in the past but i can't remember. |
