Problem when using IDatabasePtr-->Search

Hello,  thanks a lot for your answer.

I’ m sorry for my short example, but the searchstring is formatted as XML. Here is the “longer version”:

        […]
        IStringPtr    pKeyword = RS::CreateInstance<IStringImp>();        
        pKeyword->assign(“Title”);
        
        // BUILD XML
        std::string sXMLSearch = “<ENQuery><FlatQuery>(‘Title’ IS [”;
        sXMLSearch.append(pKeyword->c_str());
        sXMLSearch.append("])</FlatQuery></ENQuery>");
        
        // SEARCH
        if( (iRet=pDBMain->Search(sXMLSearch.c_str(), pAllListMain, &pMatches)) != kServiceNoErr )
        […]
        
This usually works fine. But if there are parentheses in the title no items will be found. The same search done via the user interface works fine.

e.g.

    1)        pKeyword->assign(“Title one”);    // FOUND
    2)        pKeyword->assign(“Title (two)”);    // NOT FOUND
    3)        UI: Title is “Title (two)”                // FOUND

Because the items will be found via UI, I´m not sure if i have to escape the parentheses or maybe there is a flag which I have to set.

Best regards
Christian
