Detailed Description

Learning activity titles that include special characters are now included as exact matches in enhanced search results. Previously, learning activities with special characters in their titles were not ranked as expected in search results. Now these activities are prioritized and displayed at the top of search results when an exact match for the title is available. This improvement allows learners to find exact matches more efficiently, enhancing the overall search experience.

Impact Assessment

This feature enhances the search functionality within SAP SuccessFactors Learning by improving how learning activities with special characters are discovered. The change requires that enhanced search is enabled as a configuration requirement. The impact is limited to the Content Discovery and Course Library modules, affecting the search experience for learners without requiring changes to existing implementations.

Test Recommendations
• Search for learning activity titles containing special characters (such as ., ?, +, *, |, {, }, [, ], (, ), ", \, #, <, >, ~) and verify they appear as exact matches at the top of search results • Verify that enhanced search is enabled in the system • Compare search results before and after the update to confirm special character titles are now prioritized • Test with various special character combinations to ensure consistent ranking behavior
