Describe the bug
We store networking data in a wiki document, such as IPs. We can't search for IPs in documents, which is quite useful for us.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to search bar.
Type in IP address i.e. 192.168.1.1
Hit return and no results are shown

Expected behavior
The search should show pages which contain the IP address. Without the period character the search works.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version BookStack v0.24.1
PHP Version: 7.1
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Apache

wrap the IP address in double quotes and it will find it eg. "192.168.1.2". I can't see the full stop character in the search filter documentation, but it might be reserved for custom searches
