Description dinoop.thomas 2005-02-10 07:08:09 UTC 
1. Launch gsearch tool. 
2. Enter the following as search criteria : ?i?  
Observation and bug:
It lists all the files in that directory containing an i whereas a '?' is
supposed to match only one character. Hence only files having three characters
with an 'i' in b/w should be displayed in this case.

I assume you are talking about the name contains field?  

Good catch! Fixed in CVS.

	* gsearchtool-support.c: (build_search_command):
	Check for the '?' wildcard in name contains.
	Fixes bug #166895.
