SR text search

We recently upgraded from 11.5.10.2 to R12

In 11i, a user could perform a text search using special characters without having to include escape characters such as "{...}" or "/"

Example: ip->i_idinode.idi_blocks >= freed_blocks

According to Oracle document ID 604993.1, the escape characters are included in the search string code in 11i.

Did those get removed from the search string code for R12?

We now get an error when searching for the example text above that contains special characters. If we manually add the escape characters, the search is returned correctly.

Example: {ip->i_idinode.idi_blocks >= freed_blocks}

Thanks,
