bug with spaces in regexp search

bug with spaces in regexp search

[Samuel Wales]

With the headline "********* text search much faster than tag search"
and an agenda text search:

  {faster than} does not return it
  {faster\ than} also

I think of {...} as a single token even if it has spaces in it.

Thanks.

Samuel

I have both these variables set as nil and search works.

This is what I did.

In org agenda buffer. I typed M-x org-search-view and then typed in
"faster than" which displayed the expected result.

I meant,

I have both these variables set as nil

org-agenda-search-view-always-boolean
org-agenda-search-view-force-full-words

and then in org agenda buffer. I typed M-x org-search-view and then
typed in "faster than" which displayed the expected filtered result.

I am running

Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.555.g90cc)
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.12) of
2010-01-30 on noorul

Does that make it clear?

Thanks and Regards

Why is that important?

Noorul tried to reproduce the bug, but couldn't.  Trying to reproduce
a reported bug is (sometimes) important for the developers.

The bug has been fixed, so the following is moot.

Ah, but he didn't .  :)  Hence my question.  :)

I appreciated the effort to help, but I was wondering what he was
trying to say, because he used strings instead of regexps and he used
different settings for both variables.  The bug was with regexps (i.e.
{...}) and not strings.

In other words, he did not attempt to reproduce the bug, but instead
changed 3 conditions back to a known-working state.  It was not a
surprise that it worked.  :)

But, again, I appreciated the effort to help.

I was unable to type more than a few words at the time I asked.  I
hope this clarifies conclusively.

In other words, I was wondering why he reported the failure to
reproduce a bug that I did not report on.

Perhaps he had some other point he was making.  Or perhaps he was
confused about what the bug was.

Hence my question.

I tried to reproduce it and I think I missed the regexp part. I am sorry
about that.

Your one liner reply to the mail confused me and I again typed in the
same thing. If you could have typed in the first paragraph in this mail
as your initial reply I could have tried with regexp.

Since now that Carsten has fixed the bug and it has not been ignored
because of my mistake, I think you are happy.

Thanks and Regards

Is that so?

Either of these should now (after pulling) do the trick.

Yes, by an order of magnitude.
