@user or @instagram is a pretty common thing and gets included in posts.
When I search a thread that I know has one - I am not getting any results.
Is there an "escape" character or something else needed to get search to look for @ or any other special characters?
For example: in a post I made, I included " @_torias_secret_" Post:
https://www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/guns-and-girls.209380/post-2700846
Search is like this:
Returns this result
Advanced Search is the same.
As the Den is apparently blocked from Robots, I can't run the search in Google.
Thanks,
See Regular Expressions if my question is not clear
" The characters included in the Character or sequence ( . $ ^ { [ ( | ) * + ? \ ) column are special regular expression language elements.
To match them in a regular expression, they must be escaped. For example, the regular expression \$\d+ or [$]\d+ matches "$1200". "
