DotTokenFix

A XenForo addon that extends ElasticSearch Essentials to correctly tokenize dot-separated usernames (e.g. Molitor.K) in search.

Problem

Without this addon, usernames like Molitor.K are indexed as a single token molitor.k. Searching for molitor returns no results.

Solution

Injects a pattern_replace char filter into the ElasticSearch analyzer that splits dots between alphanumeric characters into spaces before tokenization. Molitor.K becomes Molitor K, producing tokens molitor and k — so searching for molitor, k, or molitor.k all match.

Requirements

• XenForo Enhanced Search (XFES) 2.1.0+
• ElasticSearch Essentials 1.0.0+

Installation

1. Upload the Cav7/DotTokenFix directory to your XenForo src/addons/ folder.
2. Install the addon via the XenForo Admin CP.
3. Rebuild the search index.
