Description Don Scorgie 2006-07-17 18:15:39 UTC
Basic search is flakey on HTML files.

Don't really know what's happening, but I can guess.  Putting here to remind myself and for the floods of dups that I'm sure will follow ;)
Comment 1 Don Scorgie 2006-07-19 17:30:04 UTC
Bug #341797 has a patch that works around the problem.

First: it adds all .html files in the directory to be searched.
Second: Aparently, some html pages don't trigger startElement SAX function.  I don't know why.  I've worked around it in the patch by checking ing the Characters element whether we're in an html file and searching it anyway.

Marking this as a dependant on bug #341797 as the patch there works around the problem (even if it doesn't fix it).

HTML is not necessarily valid XML, I wonder if that could be causing problems?
Comment 3 Don Scorgie 2006-07-23 19:07:46 UTC
Patch from bug #341797 has been committed.  Leaving this bug open until I can get to the root of the problem.
