Describe the Bug

When inserting a page edited in a markdown editor with embedded syntax code on multiple lines (three back apostrophes are used in markdown). After the page is saved, the markdown syntax looks ok. But a Full-text search is unable to find any result in the code section.

Steps to Reproduce

Markdown editor
Insert markdown syntax:

# Some headline
Some example code: 
```
rpm -i ZzZzZz   # example of text in which fulltext search will not be able to find anything.
ls -la
```

Expected Behaviour

Fulltext search in BookStack sites will be able to find string "ZzZzZz"

Sorry, at first I thought it was because of the back apostrophes. But try this.:

```
rpm -i ZzZzZz   # example of text in which fulltext search will not be able to find anything.
ls -la
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://something.com/apt-stable/ $CODENAME main"
```

I'm attaching screenshots:

The Full-text search in Booksctack has probably trouble finding strings with hyphens or braces. Nothing more.
