If you have phrases that include punctuation, add those punctuation marks as search characters.

Adding the punctuation marks ensures that the MDEX Engine includes the punctuation when tokenizing the query, and therefore the MDEX Engine can match search terms with punctuation to phrases with punctuation.

For example, suppose you add phrases based on a Winery dimension, and consequently the Winery name "Anderson & Brothers" exists in your phrase dictionary. You should create a search character for the ampersand (&).
