Description Alexander Hunziker 2007-06-19 14:54:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Languages such as German (others?) make it possible to form compound words without spaces or hyphens. for example, the words "abschluss" and "zeugnis" together are "abschlusszeugnis" (final certificate). I have a file on my system called "Abschlusszeugnis MSc.pdf". When I only search for "Zeugnis", beagle can't find the file. Beagle should somehow have a logic to deal with this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

You can use wildcard searches for these.  In your example, "*zeugnis" should work.

There may be a better breakdown that a German analyzer and stemmer could give us; I don't know enough about what's provided (or the German language) to know off the top of my head, though.
Comment 2 Alexander Hunziker 2007-06-20 11:31:55 UTC 
Actually "*zeugnis" doesn't do the job. I have to search for "*zeugnis*" to actually find the file "Abschlusszeugnis MSc.pdf". Even so, a german brain works differently -- i want to find a "Zeugnis", so I'm not initially thinking of wildcards. So I think eventually an algorithm that analyses the indexed terms a bit further would help.

Ok, in that case, I'm going to mark this as a dup of bug #143708.
