Query parameter value filter containing period in string name is not running about search

Also there is no mention of certain characters being off limits in the docs.

There's no special mention as it's default Cake behavior that a dot in field name generates an array. It's not something special in the plugin. example.type_id will give you HTML input with name example[type_id].

Using dot separated names for the search fields is not supported. There's no need for your search form names to exactly match your db fields and/or associations. Just rename the field to for e.g. example_type.

Well it breaks the conventions used in my application to not include the dot. Also there is no mention of certain characters being off limits in the docs.

But I can work around it if that is what we need to do. Thanks.

That makes sense. I did not know that about Cake. Thanks!
