Thanks. I have applied the patch, and added a way of configuring this feature: the parameter $smwgQComparators gives a (|-separated) list of supported comparators, and can be used to enable or disable any of <, >, !, and %. By default its value is '<|>|!|%'.
In this way one can also disable ! or even <, > if these are considered to be problematic. I wonder whether one should use another character instead of "%" as a wildcard inside the pattern string, so that no double-% confusion can arise. Would * be an alternative or would it be too confusing w.r.t. the old <ask> print requests? What about +? According examples (preprocessing would in each case ensure full compatibility with SQL): - %%substring% - %*substring* - %+substring+ Cheers Markus On Donnerstag, 20.
