1209 Quick search for C:\ matches T.B.C. [BUG#5186]

[Lowlander]

Yeah, I think it's designed more intelligently then just dropping the special character it looks for all matches that have C + any special character. It seems that one possible omission is that C:\ doesn't find C: either so : seems to be missing from the special character mix.

The issue with special characters is that they are used as search parameters and as such are excluded. This is why I asked for a way to do a forced special character search like we thought "C:\" would do.

Which characters? Not : and \ apparently, because C:\ returns far fewer tracks that C. I cannot guess from the results what the match criterion is, but could post it.

I see what you mean. Noted in the bug. Ludek will be able to elaborate.

Detail: in a smaller test, the difference is all tracks with title C.T.V . Make of that what you will!

Fixed in 1248. Thanks.
