Search box doesn’t work with words with “?”

Hi there!

This is quite unusual. I tested searching with “?” on a standard WooCommerce website to see how it should work, and it works like you would image: it returns associated products (or nearest to).

When I add such a character to your search however (?,ü,? also does it), your site creates a 403 error (Forbidden), and redirects to the front page. You can see that error if you right-click on your site, select “Inspect” and then view the “Network” tab when you do the search. Here’s what it looks like: https://d.pr/i/CpRBg4

It seems like your site views those characters as an attempt to access something that’s not allowed. I would look at any security plugins you have installed, perhaps your theme has such a setting, or otherwise reach out to your host in case it’s an account-level setting.

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ll go head and mark this thread as resolved. If you have further questions, please do start a new thread.
