Search fails for scoped packages

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When searching for scoped packages like @company/core, the search returns “No results found”.

To Reproduce

Start a fresh instance of the latest Verdaccio version. (e.g. latest available docker image).
Publish a scoped package @company/core.
Open Verdaccio and search for @company/core.

Expected behavior

The search result should list the scoped package.

Additional context

The bug seems to be a server issue, because in the network log /-/verdaccio/search/ returns an empty array. Propably the describe behavior is related to an inapropriate URL decoding.

Please let me know, if you need further input.

Looks like an issue with the lunr-mutable-indexes lib. Looks like lunr.js has had a few open issues for special characters but none that were addressed.
What I see from the ‘@’ sign is that is this ignored during indexing.
If I have a package @sample/sample and index.search(‘sam*’) this will return back @sample/sample.

One possible solution is to ignore special characters (not ideal but should get the user what they are looking for) Another is see if we can get a fix in for lunr.js and handling of special characters.

I have this question, the first search.

Ordinary text can retrieve internal ones, but it’s not good to start with @.

Then after searching once, @ will take effect again. Magic.
