There are two very frustrating issues with partial words:
-
If I know that many of my records (RTF) have something like the following in them:
Problem 63.2
Problem 63.3
and so on, and I search for: Problem 63
with ANY of the following options selected:
“All Words” - “Exact”
“All Words” - “Ignore Case”
“Phrase”
or EVEN “All Words” - “Fuzzy”
the records I am looking for are not found!
In fact, even using “Wildcards” and either “Exact” or “Ignore case” while searching for Problem 63* finds NOTHING.
And yes, I have search for: ALL selected.
So, it seems that something is seriously wrong with searching on partial words, which is very frustrating. -
I’ve reported (and received word it was being worked on) that there are some serious problems with Wikilinks where punctuation is around the text that should be a link. For example, if I have a record whose Name (or Alias, or both!) is Problem99, and I have an RTF record where I’ve typed: (Problem 99), the parentheses around the link prevent it from becoming a link. That is a big problem for me, and seriously breaks wikilinks. In fact, even a period breaks the link, so ending a sentence with a term or phrase that should become a link causes a failure. I have come to depend on wikilinks, and this bug makes them very untrustworthy.
I’m confused by how these bugs could have been missed in beta-testing, and I hope they will be fixed. When I search for something, I expect any occurrence to be found. Right now, DT is incorrectly telling me that nothing exists. That could cause me to make mistakes based on wrong information.
I hope both of these bugs will be addressed in the next update. Or, if I misunderstand something about #1, I’d be happy to know what I’m doing wrong.
