Summary
This pull request fixes an issue reported on the forum: Limitations of Searching in Joplin.
Previously, non-breaking spaces (
\u00A0
) and CRLF seem to have been treated as word characters instead of separators by the FTS tokenizer. This pull request converts them to space characters during text normalization, which are marked as separators.Note
Existing notes will need to be re-indexed for this change to apply.
