Thread:Project:Support desk/Search indexing affected by less-than sign? (2)/reply

Hi!

I hav not realized there is such behavour, but I see that your first expression, the one, which won't work, except the spaces looks like an HTML tag. Maybe the MediaWiki parser somehow thinks that "< two" would be a valid HTML tag (one of the self-closing ones) and so it does not take the contents into the search results as it thinks that it's only markup.
