Question

I am using a formatted search in a topic to filter out some entries where the issue we are dealing with is closed.

My search string is

%SEARCH{"ProjectP" format="$percntCALC{$IF($EXACT($formfield(IssueStatus),IssueOpen), | $topic | $summary(40) |,)}$percnt" regex="on" }%

This works very well except when a user puts a comma in the first 40 characters of the topic, if this happens the search output table really gets messed up.

Is there a setting to fix this or is it some sort of bug like feature?

I guess that that the comma will end the IF statement so you don't get the final | on the table. You could try reversing your logic so that you do a IF NOT EXACT so the , doesn't act as the divider between the THEN and ELSE part of the IF statement. Another thought you could try is using the RecursiveRenderPlugin and try enclosing the summary with the

 <render> </render>

Rick diagnosed the problem properly, reversing the IF should fix it.
