.. _python_api_quote_fts:
Quoting characters for use in search
------------------------------------
SQLite supports `advanced search query syntax <https://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html#full_text_index_queries>`__. In some situations you may wish to disable this, since characters such as ``.`` may have special meaning that causes errors when searching for strings provided by your users.
The ``db.quote_fts(query)`` method returns the query with SQLite full-text search quoting applied such that the query should be safe to use in a search::
db.quote_fts("Search term.")
# Returns: '"Search" "term."'
