I don't think this is a bug, it meets the spec.

lowlander 2009-01-13 15:01 developer ~0016179	The issue than could be the double use of "". It's used to find only matching, but also to force inclusion of special characters. The current implementation doesn't allow for a user to search with forced special character inclusion if I'm not mistaken.

lowlander 2009-01-13 15:10 developer ~0016180	It also seems that what I indicated is true as well. It does find partial matches as long as partial matches have a space leading/trailing. "Flac" returned all tracks with /xxxx FLAC xxxx/ in filename, which would be incorrect per spec?

Ludek 2009-01-13 18:42 developer ~0016186 Last edited: 2009-01-13 18:48	I see, I think that it works quite fine, it finds words like a full-text search engine, because it is full-text search engine, but we customized it in the way that finds prefixes of _words_. i.e. It is ok that FLAC is found within /xxxx FLAC xxxx/, but should not be found within /xxxxFLACxxxx/. Btw. If I input MP3 then it finds all my MP3s, because mp3 is part of path after . and . is replaced by space. So I don't know why "Flac" with path searchable didn't find all your flac files. (you might want to send me your DB so that I could reproduce). Re: the note 16179: Quoted strings finds exact matches, i.e. searching "help!" finds only fields including word help! (including the exclamation mark - not just help) If you have an example that doesn't work then put it here.

Ludek 2009-01-14 12:50 developer ~0016200 Last edited: 2009-01-14 13:10	All the "A" cases fixed in build 1214. i.e. 1. searching for " - ", "-" works 2. searching for all the cases reported here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36047 works. 3. searching "Flac" with path searchable finds all flac files. 4. additionally searching for "C:\" finds all files on the C drive as requested here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35968&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15
