bug indexing/searching unable to deal with 'cron.daily'

[James Troup]

If I go to the list of bugs I've reported (<https://bugs.launchpad.net/~elmo/+reportedbugs>) and search for 'cron', 'daily' or 'cron.daily' it gets not hits despite the fact that #144400 has a title of 'pleas rename cron.daily to something less confusing'. If I search for 'rename' it finds the bug, so it seems to be specific to 'cron.daily' rather than something about the bug itself.

Could this be a dupe of bug #29227? I'm not sure we shouldn't match "cron.daily", though, unfortunately.

[Francis J. Lacoste (flacoste)]

It kind of is. The underlying problem is that we don't use the same rules for indexation than for searching.

In this case, that string is indexed as 'cron.daily', but when we search for 'cron.daily', we transform into a search for 'cron & daili | crondaili'.

We should probably apply the same word separators at index and search time :-)
