I've added the following file to my datasette-dir: `/plugins/sql_functions.py`:\r\n\r\n```python\r\nfrom datasette import hookimpl\r\n\r\ndef escape_fts_query(query):\r\n    bits = query.split()\r\n    return ' '.join('\"{}\"'.format(bit.replace('\"', '')) for bit in bits)\r\n\r\n@hookimpl\r\ndef prepare_connection(conn):\r\n    conn.create_function(\"escape_fts_query\", 1, escape_fts_query)`\r\n```\r\nIt has no effect on the standard queries to the tables though, as they still produce errors when including any characters like '-', '/', '+' or '?'\r\n\r\nDoes the function only work when using costum queries, where I can include the escape_fts-function explicitly in the sql-query?\r\n\r\nPS. I'm calling datasette with --plugins=plugins, and my other plugins work just fine.\r\nPPS. The fts5 virtual table is created with 'sqlite3' like so:\r\n\r\n`CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE \"cases_fts\" USING FTS5(\r\n  title,\r\n  subtitle,\r\n  resume,\r\n  suggestion,\r\n  presentation,\r\n  detail = full,\r\n  content_rowid = 'id',\r\n  content = 'cases',\r\n  tokenize='unicode61', 'remove_diacritics 2', 'tokenchars \"-_\"'\r\n);`\r\n\r\nThanks!", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 539590148, "label": "fts5 syntax error when using punctuation"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
