How can I search for punctuation/special characters?

By default, we do not take punctuation into account when doing a search (we consider any punctuation character to be equivalent to a 'space').

If you would like to enable special characters in your search (for example for being able to search for the string C++), you'll have to edit the separatorsToIndex field on your index settings. In the previous example, you'll just have to add the character + for being able to search for it.
