I've been noticing some strange behavior of notmuch search results for strings containing '[]'. Here are some searches for some exact strings in messages subjects: servo:~ 0$ notmuch search subject:'emacs paned UI' thread:533da424197bb6ba61a42b667d5d8d8f Wed. 14:12 [2/2] Tad Fisher, Jame= son Rollins; [notmuch] Emacs paned UI () servo:~ 0$=20 So that's fine and expected. This however is not: servo:~ 0$ notmuch search subject:'[notmuch] emacs paned UI' thread:5f2cb4b108773a39161b33c86e54f7fd 4 mins. ago [1/1] Jameson Rollins;= [notmuch] loss of duplicate messages (inbox) servo:~ 0$=20 Not only did it not turn up the message that *does* match that exact string in it's subject line, it actually turns up a completely different message that doesn't match the search term at all! This search actually turns up both: servo:~ 0$ notmuch search subject:'notmuch emacs paned UI' thread:5f2cb4b108773a39161b33c86e54f7fd 5 mins. ago [1/1] Jameson Rollins;= [notmuch] loss of duplicate messages (inbox) thread:533da424197bb6ba61a42b667d5d8d8f Wed. 14:12 [2/2] Tad Fisher, Jame= son Rollins; [notmuch] Emacs paned UI () servo:~ 0$=20 Which is again strange, because the second message does not at all match that search term. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I think I saw mention of this issue on IRC somewhere, but I thought I should bring it up explicitly here. This is definitely some buggy behavior. jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJLbErfAAoJEO00zqvie6q8LlYP/1pikkmCPC9tzetQ7G5/J8A6 5/IZQC6GvdX2DJrlqozSijUu4Jq2jHZ9veX7S7/VwOyXVfWEaQF1T9PAtPb+crro YVoP7DRHF4Bxz6TCA6mgrVvZhBOqFICGkEQUTy5Jjy5oQsMv0LaVZ/jpUaeRfVuw /SL2qopuhu1Dg74Iw32aEx3pPeu1d0gvtDPvym21vAzSDOnRTQn6Ho5a9GaBFtln Ml9hSMLpALcBPogLr2cacu4SzqWDrYYglwOuR1foJCvOsz65GRAjFOp5KFvU0t8k meXpu6WZqUxIBZp495/VXMv9MvVcNxUqpGS8oinGXnLFiQS6KGQ3lCff2m/ii2pQ XeA+pUeQOs8okhkUBn8HZ7i802lQXBs494D2gGeorvj8iY0cQY5CeHYMzGE3ZW5z XBkGO3oy3/5TzYvMvj1qIOwjXvq9KjRWJmEglYMij3wbnvcl99rNJZwnaYy6JoTW YgFJQuM05gAUevwbXrZAK3Fm72b+O0q5fKPwCHkPpDlCXTVkrg9EC+F/eNUKz7sD JJVSSRDP/9K8Md2kN9KYopMgiCQr3loob/4BOvhmR2OqsIkSesngbFXlg9jzw69c JJX9/caoQJ9Mqj37vlk9TTk1trww/5d6KVMoFwYjM0O1My5OvxA/53viv4yME2qe DHm9Tb8KJUgs2PC49Jpb =l4q4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
