#168 closed bug (invalid)

New search/filter not working as expected?

Description

I have a filter, looking up "to:" and searching for something like

#?xxx#?@mydomain.de#?

I expect it to get me anything with "xxx" going to my domain, which it did (and still does in amigados-mode).

When I now change it to something like

*xxx*@mydomain.de*

in new BoyerMooreSearch it no longer works.

Human (ie. my ;)) error, or something wrong with the new algo?

  • Resolution set to invalid

The Boyer/Moore string search algorithm is a plain search algorithm, not a pattern matching algorithm as you are trying to use it. The main difference to the former implementation is that Boyer/Moore is a *really* fast algorithm compared to some really dumb standard implementations.

So if you want to use patterns like "#?somebody#?@domain.com" you must enable the AmigaDOS patterns switch. Otherwise you will let YAM search for the exact string "#?somebody#?@domain.com" which is very unlikely to occur as a normal address.

Ok, didn't know that.

Maybe, if not already done, this could be noted somewhere for the non-ITlers among us? :)
