Hello,
Have not had success in configuring the setup for special characters in an
existing Thinking Sphinx implementation. The problem, setup and attempts
are listed below.
The problem:
The indexed model has records where some names contain special characters,
such as hyphens, periods, percentages, pound signs and parenthesis. Any
search for a term like => 'twenty-three' OR 'twenty three' is returning 0
matches. Any query for names, without special characters, returns as
expected.
Index and Search settings:
Sphinx 2.1.9-release, mysql and rails
- using a charset_table similar to James Healy's.
- query is escaped with Riddle
- Star is enabled to true on the model
- min_prefix_len is set to 2.
- query has an asterix after the term => "#{query_escaped}*"
- there are also some conditional filters on the search method, but even
with those commented out there are still no matches.
- two indexes are weighted, where the name value is 2.
Solutions that I have attempted separately (scoped to only deal with
hyphens, re-indexed after each attempt):
- special characters to the charset_table
- hyphen character added to ignore_chars
- hyphen character added to blended_chars
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
