Defect Report: Search with a Question Mark Does Not Correctly URL Encode the Question Mark Character
Date: 02/09/2024
Tester: Liam Hepper
Assigned To:
Severity: Medium
Priority: Medium
Status: Unresolved
Summary: When a search query contains a question mark (?), the system does not correctly URL-encode the character, resulting in the search query being truncated or interpreted incorrectly by the server.
Expected Result: The question mark (?) should be URL-encoded as %3F to ensure the entire query is correctly interpreted as a search parameter.
Actual Result: The search query containing a question mark (?) is not URL-encoded, causing the search functionality to fail or return incorrect results.
Defect Description:
Go to the search bar on the website (e.g., https://automationexercise.com/products).
Enter a search query that includes a question mark, such as "tops?"
Submit the search.
Observe that the search query is either truncated or misinterpreted due to the unencoded question mark (?).
This defect affects user experience by preventing searches with question marks from working as expected.
