About search characters

The Oracle Endeca Server 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 attribute values in value 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 Endeca Server.

Note: Search characters are supported only for the unknown language identifier. If the search query is tagged with one of the supported language codes, the search character feature is not used.
