Search on the site does not work if the site name consists solely of special characters.

S W 40

I have a site with name '" * : < > ? / \ |'.

When I use the API below to search for my site, I don’t see any of my site information in the results. Instead, it shows some sites that are completely unrelated to my search query.

Why could this happen? Did I put wrong query in my API? Thanks for the helps!

Hi @S W

After testing, I have encountered the same test results as you, and through queries, I found that there were other users who were experiencing similar problems, and there is no good solution for this at present.

It is recommended that you give feedback here or open a support ticket.

Hope this helps.
