Sorry if this is a real RTFM'er...
I know you can't use a '*' in the middle of a word, but can you use a '*'
at the end of a word in the middle of a phrase, like:
"sneezle* weezle"
?
I always thought this was a no-no, but it seems to work fine. Could
somebody please confirm that?
Also, just one small query parser thing I noticed (Bill M. is going to say
"hey, how about some help fixing the query parser?" here ;-); sorry, I wish
I could...):
$ swish-e -w 'a*b' -f news.idx
.. gives ...
err: Wildcard not allowed within a word
but
$ swish-e -w '"a*b"' -f news.idx
.. gives ...
err: no results
But a '*' in the middle of a phrase word is just as not allowed as a '*' in
the middle of a non-phrase word, right?
Version is 2.4.0 on HP-UX 11.0.
Thanks,
David
