Description of Problem: In the latest version from rawhide, if one searches for a string with an * character all previous characters are also searched...e.g. if you search for XF* to find all oocurances of XFree86, all X's are also higlighted and searched for! The search seems to be for string upto the * and also the string upto the star minus the last character .e.g searching for vim* also finds all vi's How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q -a > out 2. vi out 3. /XF* Actual Results: Expected Results: What it used to do before. Additional Information:
Fixed in 6.0-7.13 (errata just released)
NO!!! vi searches with regular expressions. (use vi under Solaris, for example). If you search with "/XF*", you are supposed to get all occurences of X, XF, XFF, XFFF, etc. i.e. that * means "0 or more occurences of F". If you want to search for all occurences of "XF and then some string of characters", you should search for "XF.*". I repeat, the behavior BEFORE this update was CORRECT.
