    No search results where word preceded by punctuation or with accents

    Hello. For some reason I cannot get words to show up in search results where they are preceded by punctuation. I resolved the problem, I believe, with words followed by closing punctuation by switching on stemming. Also, although I have enabled accents under "Languages" it does not appear to be working for some reason. All pages are charset UTF-8.

    eg.:

    Daein does not return a search result for ‘Daein

    Esther does not return a search result for ‘Esther:

    hunner does not return a search result for <b>a</b>-Hunnèr (where there is a grave accent on the e).

    I'm probably missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated. The test site I have set up is here:

    I seem to have fixed the quotation mark issue by downloading the latest build of v8 and have tested different accents too which are working fine. I think the reason that Hunnèr is not displaying in the search results is that it is preceded by a hyphen in the text?.

      Glad you sorted most of it out.

      Yes, hyphen might be setup as a joining character. This can be configured in the "indexing option" window.
