This is a bug report for OxygenXML 26.1, build 2024042206 and the search functionality of the DITA Map Webhelp Responsive output.

Given I have a topic containing a Windows-based variable path such as:

Code: Select all

%userprofile%

AND Given I build the DITA Map WebHelp Responsive output,
When I search for the exact term including percentage symbols,
Then the search crashes with an uncaught "URI malformed" error when calling decodeURIComponent and does not output search results.

Code: Select all

commons.js?buildId=2024041900:2 Uncaught URIError: URI malformed

Workaround: Do not use % symbols in the search term.

Hi,

We wanted to let you know that we have released a new maintenance build for Oxygen WebHelp 26.1, which includes a fix for the issue where searching for the '%' character, along with other non-alphanumeric characters, would cause the search engine to crash.
