Hi

The hyphen which written in 'Olympus E-PL1' is different from
the one which written in 'Camera - Black'.

em-dash

en-dash

I have no idea to fix using PostgreSQL's function,because they don't equal.
I think you have to change the data or change the behavior of your application .

Thank you.

I have a product names table like this:

datab=# select product_id, name from table.product_synonyms where name
ilike '%%olympus e-pl1%%';
  product_id
|
name
------------
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        8736 | Olympus E-PL1
        8736 | Olympus E-PL1 Interchangeable Lens Type Live View
Digital Camera – Black (Body Only) (Call for pre-order. Available on:
2010-04-09)
        8736 | Olympus E-PL1 Interchangeable Lens Type Live View
Digital Camera – Blue (Body Only)
        8736 | Olympus E-PL1 Interchangeable Lens Type Live View
Digital Camera w/ ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 (champagne/gold)
(4 rows)

Any select statement prior to the hyphen yields a result, but from the
hyphen on yields nothing:

datab=# select product_id, name from table.product_synonyms where name
ilike '%%Olympus E-PL1 Interchangeable Lens Type Live View Digital
Camera -  Blue %%';
  product_id | name
------------+------
(0 rows)

Any ideas how to fix this?
