The Oracle Commerce MDEX Engine supports configurable handling of punctuation and other non-alphanumeric characters in search queries.
This section does the following:
Describes the semantics of matching search queries to result text (that is, records in record search or dimension values in dimension search) when either the query or result text contains non-alphanumeric characters.
Explains how you can control this behavior using the search characters feature of the Oracle Commerce MDEX Engine.
Provides information about features supporting special handling for ISO-Latin1 and Windows CP1252 international characters during search indexing and query processing.
Note
Modifying search characters has no effect on Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language tokenization.
