Hi all :-) I've just started using BBDB, and so I am not sure if I've
found a bug, or I just don't know how the software is supposed to work.
But since the manual does not really exist, I can't find out how it's
supposed to work ;-)
Anyway, searching the database seems to turn up many false positives. I
am quite familiar with regular expressions from Perl hacking and
grepping, so I'm pretty sure I'm not making a mistake. Using
bbdb-search-name (or bbdb or b in the BBDB buffer) returns the correct
match and at least one false positive, every time. For example,
searching for Jo* returns (minus the domain names, which are either
otago dot ac dot nz or gmail dot com):
