Search will not find a linked called "A+"
I have a link called A+. It is a journal's name. Search cannot find it no matter what. Can someone tell me why? Because it has plus in its name? Is there anything that I can do to include it in my search? Thanks.

Do you have mysql indexing turned on?

Hi,

Yes, there are two issues here:

1. Links SQL only indexes words with 3 or more letters.

2. The plus does not count as a letter and would be stripped.

You could use nonindexed mode and it would find a+ for you. In 2.0.5 goto Setup->Search Options, and in 2.1.0 go to Database->Links->Properties and change indexed mode to Nonindexed.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi, Alex and RedRum:

I changed to "Regular". Now it began to find the "A+". Thanks very much.
