I am using hyphen, apostrophe, comma and colon as join chars because we have chemical names that use these chars. From a thread I initiated a year ago, I had this response - **Two single-quote characters in a row will not be indexed, it will split the word. A "word join" character only allows it to join characters which are actual alphabet/numeric.**
I have been trying to find a way to use Zoom with our site. I have the skip words length set to skip less than 1, because single char D and L are critical that we index, as well as single digits.
My observation is this - I search for 1',2',3',4',5'-13C5 which is a distinct label pattern I would like to find. I don't get any results because (I guess) the 2 join chars in a row are splitting the terms. I search for "1 ',2 ',3 ',4 ',5 '-13C5" with spaces inserted before the apostrophes but not after, and the whole string surrounded by quotation marks and I get 22 results found, which is what I want.
My question, is this expected behavior, when there are 2 join chars in a row? The terms are split, with the 2 join chars sticking to the front of the second term? I recently upgraded to 1028 and I had been using 1023. The site in question can be seen at www.omicronbio.com/search.php. Please note that I am entering these terms in the Search for box and leaving the product name box blank.
Also, if this is the expected behavior, then what should happen when there are three join characters in a row? In order to find 2',2''-2H2 I found that searching for "2 ',2 '-2H2" works, but not sure why. Three join chars in a row means the first one is dropped and the second two stick to the front of the following term?
The suggestion a year ago was to use a custom meta field, which I have incorporated, but I have problems with that because (I think) a search for Salt Sodium will not find a page with Sodium Salt in the custom field.
Thank You
