Possibly a bug I think I may have found:

If you do a 'super search' for 'freelancing advice' the two results that come up (second search needed) seem to have broken links - only the first part of the link (OT) is highlighted.

The node that it should be finding is this one: OT Freelancing advice?. I believe that the square brackets in the node title are causing the problem. I cannot display the brackets here as it breaks the link.

Curiously the square brackets do not break the search results if you do not specify the id in the link, like so: OT Freelancing advice?

--tidiness is the memory loss of environmental mnemonics

    That is indeed happening. Thanks for the report.

    update: and I believe Super Search - (patch) will fix it (pmdevils kindly take a look).

      If you "release" a patch, then you need to check whether you need to edit it to change the first line from "# ..." to "<!-- ... -->", as was needed in this case.

      Thanks, your patch would have worked, but I opted to go with a shorter solution, especially since it will also handle nodes with empty titles.

      Thanks again,
