Hi Steffen, Yes, a restoration of the substring matching capabilities that were in the original BSD code was the original point. As it was effectively broken (from my perspective ;-) in later code in another branch. (That's not to say the BSD code was not already broken ;-)
Yes, a quick scan of your change looks reasonable. Perhaps your change might be suitable for the nail code, so it gets into the redhat releases? At least I think we have the original intention of the search code clarified a bit, ie. that you can do a substring search on the whole address ;-) I'll be in Frankfurt (Airport) then off to Grassellenbach to visit my brother in a couple of weeks (not sure of the exact date - just for a day or two). Maybe we should try to meet for a beer as I hurtle through Darmstadt on a slow train ;-) Consider though that I can't drink as much now as I used to!
