[sword-devel] diatheke search type default ?

[David Haslam]

"Something not quite right in the state of Denmark ..."

diatheke -b ESV -k Merodach
gives no matches!

diatheke -b ESV -s lucene Merodach
gives 5 matches.

The actual instances are as follows: (omitting the references)
2 matches to "Evil-merodach"
2 matches to "Merodach-baladan"
1 match to "Merodach"

diatheke syntax help includes:

Valid search_type values are: phrase (default), regex, multiword, attribute,
lucene, multilemma.

If the default search type really is "phrase", surely one ought to expect
its omission to be equivalent to specifiying it explcitly?

diatheke -b ESV -s phrase Merodach
gives 5 matches

Is it that the syntax help is lying when it tells us that search type phrase
is (default) ?

Observations made with diatheke.exe version 4.7 as supplied with Xiphos
4.0.4 (Windows).

Best regards,

David
