Hi Mark,
I’ve just tested this in one of my own apps, and I can get it working if I add
( and ) to my charset_table - the full value in config/thinking_sphinx.yml is
the following:
charset_table: 0..9, A..Z->a..z, _, a..z, U+410..U+42F->U+430..U+44F,
U+430..U+44F, U+401->U+451, U+451, (, )
(This is Sphinx’s default, plus the two parentheses). Doing this, then running
a rebuild, meant I got the expected search results. Is this what you’d tried?
If it didn’t work, I’m keen to know which version of Sphinx you’re using.
Cheers,
