CLOSED: Inexplicable CHS find/search results - rules not understood.

<< < (2/3) > >>

mouser:
my memory is spaces as delimiters.  if you have just a - by itself it will probably be ignored.

Oh! Then that means:
1. "Corporation - psychopathy" - CHS fails to find it (no hits), even though that is the exact string as copied from the Memo pane.

- cannot be explained.

mouser:
true, ill have to look into that case.

mouser:
Searching for - by itself should work properly in next release.

IainB:
Feedback on this Beta: I can confirm that CHS v2.36.0 Beta search:

* finds a minus symbol or small dash ("-") with no problem.
* treats an immediately preceding dash (which itself has a preceding space) as a NOT in the clip search - e.g., the search string "corporation -civil" will find all occurrences of clips that contain "corporation" and which do NOT contain "civil".
* correctly searches for embedded dashes - e.g., in hyphenated words such as "corporation-civil".
Very nice, thanks.

Thought I should probably mark this thread as "closed" now.
