Issue: Searching for merchant using “number of payments” breaks with special characters (#)
Details to reproduce:
I tapped “number of payments” on my Coffee#1 transaction to see all payments from coffee#1, however it returned no results
OS: Android
Device: pixel 4a
App Version: 4.3.0
Screenshots:
It’s turning it into a tag because of the # symbol.
Yeah, I suspected as much. “#” is a valid character in the store/merchant name though, so they should have a better way to specify or escape tags. Perhaps using quotes? Ie: it could search “Coffee#1” instead of Coffee#1 to disable the tag behaviour. Or require a space before the tag
Monzo should probably escape special characters in merchant name otherwise someone may end up trying to exploit it. Just like little Bobby Tables.
