[jira] [Commented] (OLINGO-1571) $search does not allow some special characters in search phrase

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-1571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17579218#comment-17579218 ] 

mibo commented on OLINGO-1571:
------------------------------

After checking with OLINGO-1378 and the comment from [~RalfHandl] and the [Overview part of the OData ABNF Construction Rules|https://github.com/oasis-tcs/odata-abnf/blob/main/abnf/odata-abnf-construction-rules.txt#L48-L53] I think the behavior of the {{SearchTokenizer}} must be changed.

Reason is that the {{SearchTokenizer}} in Olingo assumes that the SearchPhrase or SearchWord are still percent encoded. But as it is used in Olingo the SearchPhrase or SearchWord are already percent decoded.
See {{Parser}} -> parseUri(); line 103 where the {{UriDecoder.splitAndDecodeOptions(query)}} is called.

> OLINGO 4 $search requires double encoding of some chars in search phrases.
> The [OData ABNF|https://github.com/oasis-tcs/odata-abnf/blob/99d6836d59f51fdd75cc9484bea3f537a098015f/abnf/odata-abnf-construction-rules.txt#L350] requires certain special chars such as *&* to be percent-encoded in search phrases:
> {code:java}
> searchPhrase = quotation-mark 1*( qchar-no-AMP-DQUOTE / SP ) quotation-mark
> qchar-no-AMP-DQUOTE = unreserved / pct-encoded-no-DQUOTE / other-delims / ":" / "@" / "/" / "?" / "$" / "'" / "="{code}
> However, Olingo [decodes|https://github.com/apache/olingo-odata4/blob/4.9.0/lib/server-core/src/main/java/org/apache/olingo/server/core/uri/parser/Parser.java#L103] search options before parsing, e.g. the search phrase *"bike %26 car"* is encoded to *%22bike%20%26%20car%22* and decoded to *"bike & car"* before parsing the search phrase. This results in an exception *'Forbidden character in state PHRASE->&’.*
> Workaround: Double encode special characters in search phrases.
> {code:java}
> http://host/service/Products?$search="bike %2526 car" {code}
