Bugzilla – Bug 1035
% in search is turned into a space
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:22:28 UTC
I was wondering if there was any support for wildcard searching. I tried putting my seach behaviour back to "search beginning of words", and searched for "athl%e", knowing that % in SQL is a wildcard char. This produced 0 matches for "thl0.000000e+000". :-) Extended regular expressions might be nice, although would need to have an option to turn the facility on/off (preferably with something like a checkbox on the search form, rather than an the option in server settings).
Philip - you should be able to use * as a wildcard character in searches. We escape the use of %. * is translated to % in the software.
And it looks like % is turned into a space character. Shouldn't that be escaped somehow?
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
