Bug in searches.

[m^2]

I have following class:

Code: Select all

aa_SearchFlags=0|000002000020|||||||||0000|
aa_SearchFor=ahk;js

It should find files and directories with name "ahk" or "js".
It doesn't.
If I change "js" to i.e. "js*", it works fine..but it's something different.

Confirmed!

An the interseting part is that both directories named ahk AND js is found with any of the following searches:
*ahk js
ahk* js
ahk *js
ahk js*
*ahk *js
*ahk js*
ahk* *js
ahk* js*
*ahk* js
*ahk *js
*ahk* *js*
ahk *js*
*ahk *js*
ahk* *js*

but NOT with:
ahk js

I don't se the logic - A wildcard has never been necessary if you write only one strings, so why is it necessary when there are two string, and then why isn't it necessary for both strings

'?' also helps.

?' also helps.

But then you will only find the name with the ? if it is exactly on letter longer i.e. if you got at dir with the name of ahk and one with js and search you searc for ahk? js, then the js dir will be found, but not the ahk dir.

Searches are not separated by semicolons but spaces!

If you want to search for all extensions ahk and js, you have to enter that:

Code: Select all

*.ahk *.js

There has been a long discussion in a German thread a while ago in which ghisler has announced enhancements for TC 7:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=9644

Lefteous has done several tests here:

And ghisler has explained what TC does right now here:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=78777#78777

It looks like nothing of this confusing behaviour has changed... I still don't understand it myself I think.

To search for multiple substrings, you must have a wildcard in any of them. The simple "auto-add wildcard" search method only works for a single word.
