Package: mlocate
Version: 0.26
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


If I run 
        mlocate abcde 

I am returned a short list of files, with obvious omissions. 19 files in my 
real-world example

If I run
        mlocate -b abcde
I am returned a longer list of files; 194 files in my real world example

If I run
        mlocate --wholename abcde
I am returned 1780 files.


mlocate's action without either -b or --wholename is completely broken. 
mlocate should default to either -b or to --wholename
The default behaviour should be documented in the man page.

Closing this one too, since 803463 is a duplicate of 803466, I didn't
see this earlier.
