📄 Description

@LHBL2003 was Identified the issue. When we give single special character, it does not provide any search result even that character is exists in the Bookstack.

I checked MYSQL console for why it's happening like this. So I found for that exact query. Single \ we need to give four \\\. Then only it will consider like only one.

Came back to the code
$inputTerm = ($inputTerm == "\\") ? str_repeat($inputTerm, 2) : $inputTerm;
Added condition for that backslash, then it worked.

Also, I noticed that I can't able to get the word called stack and the actual word was Bookstack. So I modified that query in PHP.

$query->orWhere('term', 'like', $inputTerm. '%'); to $query->orWhere('term', 'like', "%$inputTerm%");

Finally, the issues are resolved 🎉
