Slashes search bug?

Try to search "Fahrenheit 9/11" without quotes? PVD crashes in my case

I thought it might be a noble attempt to save you from Michael Moore's bullshit, but is seems to be a bug. I've sent a bug report.

Thx for reporting this, will be fixed asap

Maybe I have done this unconsciously

Wow! I wouldn't expect this from a Canadian, since he praises Canada in every movie? I'd like to hear something about that in a proper topic, sincerely...

I've done politics and religion. Now I rant about software. We'll see. Occasionally I regress.

Obviously it doesn't bother me, but a search for "9/11" in version 0.9.9.21 still produces an error...

Code: [Select]

conversion error from string "300"
can't format message 13:587 -- message file C:\Program Files (x86)\firebird.msg not found
Error Code: 14.
It seems to happen just with any search string of the form "#/#"—or starting with that, if in search-as-you-type mode.

Works fine in PEOPLE view...

That's not in the form "#/#". If it were, it would cause the same error.

And yet it works where 9/11 doesn't in movie view.  Weird.

Ahh, now I see.  No need to hit ME with a herring.

I can't reproduce it any more. Could you send me the bug report?

Try to enter only "9/11" without quotes. That's when it is happening.

Mine error is:

------------madExcept 3.0 non-commercial edition---------

conversion error from string "The Fog"
Overflow occurred during datatype conversion.
Error Code:14.

It happens only if:
1. The first typed character is digit, the second one is slash and the third one is digit again. (9/11)
2. The first typed character is digit, then spaces typed as many as you want, then typed slash, then another digit (9      /11).
3. The first typed character is digit, then spaces typed as many as you want, then typed slash, then spaces typed as many as you want, then another digit (9            /                   11).
4.  The first typed characters are spaces typed as many as you want, then the first digit is typed, then spaces typed as many as you want, then typed slash, then spaces typed as many as you want, then another digit (         9            /                   11).

Although it's a madExcept error message, there is no bug report dialog, and bugreport.txt is empty.

It happens only if...

Sorry my "#/#" was so vague.

I did notice it still happened when spaces were inserted, but assumed that was because spaces are ignored. Now I realize that's not the case. The search string "Flash Forward" will not find "FlashForward" or "Flash<space><space>Forward"—spaces are significant. But that's for text fields (like the default titles search I've been using). A more relevant clue might be the fact the error does not occur—and spaces are ignored—if a date field is chosen. Maybe date-handling logic is being used even though the input is not a date, and a date field has not been selected.
