------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 2 05:41:40 -0800 2005 ------- This was replicated using OOo1.1.2 and OOo1.1.4 on Windows XP, Intel Pentium 4. The problem seems to be in searching as a whole. Even testing for words that are present will return wrong results. Further testing shows that similarity search canât even find âpartsâ of a word. Note that OO does not hang if only similarity search or only backward search is selected. I agree with Collingsworth that if " is followed by a symbol or punctuation marks it hangs, letters do not seem to cause this problem. The following test cases will clarify further: Case A: 1. Start a new document and insert the text (â;) without the parenthesis. 2. Press ctrl + F to open the search utility. 3. Select similarity search and backward search. 4. In the find field, insert a double quotation (â), OO will highlight the semicolon instead. Case B: 1. Start a new document and insert the text (Hello man ââ.) without the parenthesis. 2. Press ctrl + F to open the search utility. 3. Select similarity search and backward search. 4. In the find field, insert the word Dad, OO will highlight the period, then the quotes then the word man and will then prompt that there are no more matches. 5. Insert the word He in the search field, it will do the same thing and will not find the match in the word (Hello). Case C: 1. Start a new document and insert the text (Hello man) without the parenthesis. 2. Press ctrl + F to open the search utility. 3. In the find field, insert the word Dad, and in the replace field, insert the word Mom. 4. Press replace, OO will prompt if you want to search at the end. Press Yes. OO will prompt you that there is no keys found but will still replace the word man with Mom. Case D: 1. Start a new document and insert the text (Hello man. Hello woman. Hello all) without the parenthesis. 2. Press ctrl + F to open the search utility. 3. In the find field, insert the word Hello and press Find. OO will highlight the word all, then will correctly find only the Helloâs. 4. Insert instead the sentence (Hi man. Hi woman. Hi all.) and search for Hi. OO will highlight the period, followed by the word all, then Hi and then woman etc. Search for Hello will return the word all. There doesnât seem to be a logical pattern to the search results, it seems to be random. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
