Searching for URLs doesn't work

[Sujan (Jan P.)]

This post includes the URL http://example.org/path#anchor

• Searching for the full URL gives no results: Search results for 'http://example.org/path#anchor' - Discourse Meta

• Same for the URL without the anchor: Search results for 'http://example.org/path' - Discourse Meta

• Searching for only the domain name works: https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org%2F

(The Google search result work as a valid fallback, but it would be still better if Discourse could return these posts) .

I don’t think URL searching is supported at the current time, so this would be a feature request. The domain name is probably tokenized like language words. Is URL searching something postgres has support for @sam?

Note that using quotes does work, though

[sam (Sam Saffron)]

Something is definitely off here cause that string should be tokenized.

Nice bug report, this is fixed per:

Requires a re-index on broken posts (which you can do by editing)
