I was having a similar issue where “.” in combo boxes turned into a space. (Searching for the value “A.W.” was impossible)
I have applied the fix posted to replace
RegExp("^"+text.replace(/([[]{}()+*\])/g,"\$1"));
with
RegExp("^"+text.replace(/([.[]{}()+*\])/g,"\$1"));
however, it still won’t let me search for “A.W.”, when I type the “.” after “A” it automatically puts a space in place of the “.” , did I do something wrong?
Please check attached sample, it uses native ( unmodified filtering functionality ) - and works correctly for labels as “A.W.”
