To get nice snippet headings in the documentation, we often use non-letter stuff like opening and closing quotes in Wiki page titles.  However, as I've found out recently, this severely hampers searching.  For example, the snippet [[Using \arpeggioBracket to make divisi more visible]] cannot be immediately found by entering “Using arpeggioBracket” (i.e., without the backslash) into the search field.

I now wonder whether the Wiki can be configured to ignore quotes and the like in the search.  If this is not possible, I have to add redirections for all articles with such characters in its name.  It's not a big deal since it can be done programmatically, however, not needing this would be a better solution. -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 13:55, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
