Jetpack Search - Superscripted Text Not Found #37646

Open

Description

Impacted plugin

Search

Quick summary

Superscripted text cannot be found in search.

For example, if the text May 30th is included in a post with the th superscripted, then searching for May 30th will not return that post in the search results.

I didn't test for subscript, strikethrough, or any other text format, but there may be other affected formats as well.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create any post with some superscripted text
  2. Search for a text snippet that includes the superscripted text.
  3. Note the post is not found.
  4. Create a similar post where the text is not superscripted.
  5. Search for the text snippet that includes the non-superscripted text.
  6. Note the post is found.

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Superscripted and other formatted text should be found and returned in a search.

What actually happened

Superscripted text is not found and returned in a search.
