beagle backend is not strict about given directory names

[Stefan Bethge]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When searching files with beagle enabled, I can add additional search criteria to the search. If I add a directory to search in, in my case 'gajim', I always get results from 'gajim-trunk' and all other directories beginning with 'gajim' (the dirs being one level above with gajim in their name get displayed as well). It seems like the dir is added to the beagle search and therefore does substring search as well?
The directories are in my home dir like this:
~
  -- gajim
  -- gajim_trunk
  -- ...
I expected files to only be displayed from inside 'gajim'.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been
reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report
any further bugs which you find.

Sorry, but the behavior I described is not the same as in bug #28537, therefore I opened a new one.
I have the problem that I _can't_ only search in the directory I specified but all other directories with similar names are searched as well. This is a problem because this affects search results. In #28537 only an interface problem is described.

Thanks for clarifying, I forwarded the bug to the upstream developers: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346772

thanks for the bug report. can you please try if the problem happens with latest version of Ubuntu?

Since there is no more a beagle package to install and beagle is not under active development anymore, I think this bug can be marked as invalid/closed/whatever. It might be worth trying if the same stuff happens with tracker but thats another cup of tea I guess.

beagle is depreacted, closing the bug
