Template:Search - About Special Characters

Revision as of 14:11, 8 September 2015 by Dweuthen (talk | contribs)

Words inside indexed emails or attachments, which are a combination of alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters (white space, line break, delimiter or other control characters), may be returned in the search result when searching for the alphanumerical part only.

For instance the word test_1234 is returned when searching for test, 1234 and test_1234.

Other often occurring characters are:

  • Comma (,)
  • Colon (;)
  • Hyphen (-)
  • Underscore (_)
  • AT-Sign (@)
  • Slash & Backslash (/,\)
  • Null Character (NUL)
