The Dreaded Forward Slash
« on: January 07, 2016, 10:12:29 pm »
Is everyone aware that if a search title contains "/", the search will fail? I suspect this has caused some duplicate entries. Are the programmers aware of this? Can it be rectified? Also, users should be alerted to this anomaly. Otherwise, the search engine is very good, especially if you just use key words or phrases, and then press [Enter]. Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is hard to have the website interpret this as the / makes it think it is part of the URL path and not the actual search. I'm currently looking into a way to rectify this issue.

Kind Regards,
