missing highlighting of search results

Post by yoopits »

I just noticed a glitch in MyInfo 6.20 related to searching. Here is a simple example:

1. create a document containing just "lorem ipsum-dolor sit amet" (notice the hyphen)
2. use the search toolbar to search for "ipsum dolor" (use quotes; no hyphen)
3. note: the search results DO find the document (a good thing, IMO)
4. in the search results, click the document name. ipsum-dolor does not get highlighted within the document :(

This is by design. If you search "ipsum-dolor" it will find it, but not without the hyphen. The reason is that MyInfo strips the punctuation from the search index in order to find documents faster and in order the search index to take up less space. But when it highlights the found texts, it searches for an exact match.
