How can I search for special characters and ?

You can create an index to search for special characters ™ and ®.

Description

I want to search all topics that contain the special characters ™ and ®.

Solution

In the TEXTML Administration perspective, perform the following:

Edit the Index Definition file.
CAUTION: Be careful when editing the Index Definition document. Changes can significantly affect the indexing process, and any errors in the document can lead to data corruption or other errors.

Add the following index:

<index NAME="specialchars" SYNC="False">
          <stringindex KEEPEXTRACTEDVALUES="True">
              <elements>
              <element XPATH="for $s in //*/text()[contains(.,'®')] return 'Register'" DEPTH="INFINITE"/>
<element XPATH="for $s in //*/text()[contains(.,'™')] return 'Trademark'" DEPTH="INFINITE"/>
             </elements>
         </stringindex>
       </index>

To add the index to the Advanced Search panel in the Search view, edit the system/conf/advancedSearchIndexes.xml file and add the following:
```
<index display="Special Characters" name="specialchars" type="index" listable="true" views="ALL"/>
```
When the indexing is complete, restart your IXIA CCMS Desktop.
