We would like some advice regarding special characters in place name such as (.) and (‘).
We have two separate place listings (two separate locations)
1) St. Mary’s College
2) St. Mary’s College Prep
When searching using Keywords:
St Mary’s College OR
St Mary’s
1) St. Mary’s College – does not appear in search results
2) St Mary’s College Prep – appears in the search
3) St Mary’s College only appears in the search results if searching using keywords: st mary
We have tried to add a new listing for St Mary’s College (without .) but it still does not appear in the result.
Again, in back end under Places,
searching using keywords
Mary, or St Mary
the listing St Mary’s College will appear
if searching keywords
St Mary’s
St Mary’s College
the listing St Mary’s College DOES NOT appear
