The body is normalized, so all consecutive whitespace becomes a single space. If you need to detect multiple spaces you need the rawbody. > Tried this, didnt work: > > describe TEST123 test > body TEST123 /\bNeed to buy products *\?\b/i > score TEST123 0.0 Scoring a rule at zero stops it being used, which is why it failed. There's no boundary between punctuation and a space, so replace the final \b with a $ (for clarity) or leave it out. Usually it's better not to wrap phrases like this in a pair of boundaries. There's no chance of extra letters changing the meaning - it just makes it a little easier to beat. > If possible, also make it catch if more than 1 question mark :) Without the final \b it will match. Otherwise use \?+.
