Type:
Bug

Resolution: Fixed
-
Priority:
High
-
Affects Version/s: 2.1.3
-
Component/s: Search - Core
-
Environment:
Standalone with MySQL backend on a Windows server 2003. JDK j2sdk 1.4.2_10.
Client running on Windows 2K with IE6.
The searching Syntax indicates the following capabilities:
- To search for content that contains "chalk" but NOT "cheese"
chalk NOT cheese
I found cases when this does not work and returns results that contains both words.
It may be linked with fact that the first word mixes letters and digits: EN9100 NOT principles
Same problem using the form:
chalk -cheese
- To search for "butter" or "batter" you can use the search:
b?tter
I cannot get this to work and a search for "sim?lator" doesn't find my pages with "simulator"
- You can also use the wildcard in the middle of a term.
b*tter doesn't work either.
We consider this as a serious problem because it is utmost important for the users to know that they can rely on the search engine. This is one of the key components in a Wiki system.
