Searching "C++" in Typesense Results in C# Instead

TLDR Gines had issues with searching "C++" in Typesense. Kishore Nallan suggested enabling indexing of symbols during collection creation to resolve the issue.

Hello, quick question:

How can I manage to search "C++" in typesense? it is giving me C# results instead of c++, I tried writing "C plus plus" as well.

I am using typesense 0.24.0rcn31 and my search is made with instantsearch and php. Thank you!

👋 You have to enabled indexing of symbols during collection creation. Like this:

{
        "name": "docs",
        "fields": [
          {"name": "title", "type": "string"}
        ], 
        "symbols_to_index":["+"]
      }

This would index + and ensure that C++ is found.
