"Search for a Trackable by Name" is not working

[+gtsally]

Newly activated trackables do not show up in the results of a search by name. And, established trackables that undergo a name change are not searchable with their new name; but, still show up in a search of their old name.

While working on the above mystery, I found that some symbols are causing script errors:

 

Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin [MISSING]

 

That TB name causes this result when searching:

"Syntax error near '"' in the full-text search condition '"Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin [ [ ]MISSI'. Syntax error near '"' in the full-text search condition '"Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin [ [ ]MISSI'."

 

It is OK if the search is done without the braces "[]":

Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin MISSING

 

...in which case it finds the actual name, braces and all:

Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin [MISSING]

Our problem(s) are with recently (past week to 10 days) activated/changed travelers. Established unchanged travelers are not creating problems, unless name is changed.

 

When is/was database updated?

Is there any word on fixing this?

Any update on this problem?

 

Same as "Recently Viewed" not updating.

Can you provide some examples of Travel Bugs behaving in this manner?

I changed the name of my TB "Flying" to "Flying Restored", for this Topic. Same problem. Do a Trackable search, and there's no TB found by the name "Flying Restored".

This one's broken, too, kind of in the way described by gtsally. But I could chalk it up to a separate "braces" issue I already mentioned:

I changed several in January. Except for "Kunarion's Green Travel Dragon Geocoin [MISSING]", they all seem to be searchable by the new name.

Any word on a fix here!

gtsally, you'll have to be patient. It will take some time to get this issue in front of engineering and prioritized into the development schedule.

Looks like it is fixed. Thanks, Moun10Bike.
