Some flaky experience when searching

For example search it, it:, “it, it:”, “it, it:”,, "it, it:", or it, it:”. It does not bring up this post although it does have “it, it:”, in it.[1]

Also, when you press the search button, quotes “” get transformed to "". I don’t like this experience, don’t know if it’s a bug.

Platform: Edge on Android, try.discourse.org, can reproduce with safe mode


  1. In case it becomes auto-deleted: test post content is: It, “it, it:”, it, oandnxkwbs. ↩︎

I think it is a stop word that is excluded from search. Have you tried to reproduce with a word that is not on that list to verify that this is about punctation?

I can’t reproduce it anymore in other form. Maybe the forum I saw the problem on has outdated Discourse.

Actually I think I can reproduce again, try finding this post by searching we don't

And searching “just-use-interface{}/object; we don’t need generics” or "just-use- interface{} / object ; we don't need generics" can’t find it

But searching just-use- interface{} / object ; we don't need generics can find it
