Description Holger Voormann CLA 2011-07-04 08:12:17 EDT
If the search word is a compound with hyphen ("-") and contains a wildcard (e.g. "pop-u?" or "pop-u*") then nothing is found even though there should be some results (e.g. for "pop-up").


Steps to reproduce (A):

<http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?tab=search&searchWord=pop-u*>

Is: Only 5 matches, all in "EMF Developer Guide"
Should: 185 or more matches: <http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?tab=search&searchWord=pop-up>


Steps to reproduce (B):

1. Open Eclipse Help: Help > Help Contents
2. In "Search:" enter "pop-u?" or "pop-u*" + Click "Go"

Is: "Nothing found."
Should: Number of results must be equal or greater than searching for "pop-up"


(Also in Ganymede nothing is found: <http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?tab=search&searchWord=pop-u*>)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
