Differences with search between GUI and eclipse client


David Davies (20612713) | asked Jan 07 '10, 7:44 a.m.
Hi there

When using the gui to add users to a project it appears to search the whole name. ie typing in jon will find Bob Jones.

When using eclipse , typing jon brings back no matches. We have to searching using Bob which then returns Bob Jones.

Not sure if its a bug or a config issue.

cheers

The web client and the eclipse client are inconsistent in this regard.

In particular, the web client effectively adds a "*" both before and
after the string you type in, so you are effectively searching for all
names that contain the string you specified.
In the Eclipse client, a "*" is effectively added only after (not
before) the string you type in. Also, the Eclipse client lets you use a
space indicating a word boundary.

So in particular, to search for someone whose last name starts with
Jones in the Eclipse client, you would search for " Jones", not "Jones"

Cheers,
Geoff
