I did a little digging and found this in the docs: https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html#fts5_strings. ""."" is one of the many prohibited characters. My solution was to just strip these out of the query using this line `query = query.translate({e: None for e in itertools.chain(range(0,26), range(27, 48), range(58,65), range(91,95), [96], range(123,128))})` Perhaps this could be included into the `table.search()` function?
