Azure search: Only the whitespace should be a word delimiter

QueryType = Simple,
SearchMode = All
Field = "foo!bar"this§is$one%test&for(tokens)in?azure#search"

Almost every special character, for example !"§$%&=?# seems to be a word delimiter, because a search for "foo" or "bar" or "this" or "is", ... is a match!

We have a apllication with technical fields where special characters are used very often.

Therefore we need a solution where the whitespace is the ONLY word delimitting character!

The usage of the filtering functionality is not a solution for us, because we want to find words in a text like "This is a normal text"!

Is there a solution in azure search or is azure search not the right tool for our requirements?

What you're looking for is an analyzer. Within the analyzer, you can define the tokenizer to only use whitespace as delimiters. See the analyzer documentation for implementation details
