Search module doesn't work properly

[Yustas]

I have product names likes 507127-B21. When i search for such part number, there is "No result : (507127B21)" Why it removes "-" from string and how to resolve this problem?

I'm having this same problem... client's product codes are in a terrible format (e.g. 01-01-01), but can't be changed, several thousand products...
Is it possible to include "-" in the search?
Please help, anyone...

Find :

Code Select Expand


return mb_ereg_replace('[^\w'.preg_quote($custom).']', '', $source);


Replace by :

Code Select Expand


return mb_ereg_replace('/[^\w'.preg_quote($custom).']/', '', $source);
