This topic describes how reserved characters work, for queries in Episerver Search & Navigation (formerly Episerver Find).
How it works
For any search string, the following characters are reserved:
+ - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /
If any of those characters appears in a query, it is escaped to prevent errors. For example, the string John+Doe is escaped to John\\+Doe.
