Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 98058
"Similarity search" leads to search failure in Calc
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:43:54 UTC
[Steps] 1. Open the Calc doc in attachment. 2. "Ctrl + F", pop-up the "Find & Replace" dialog-box. Click "More Options" button on it, enable the "Similarity search" checkbox, and press "..." button to open the "Similarity Search" dialog-box, make sure the Settings is as follow (default value): Exchange characters 2 Add characters 2 Remove characters 2 Combine (checkbox) enabled 3. Back to "Find & Replace" dialog-box, search "crack", "black", "blacker" and "ack" respectively. [Result] Cannot find "crack", "black" and "blacker" at all, no matter setting which value of "Search in" drop-list or selecting "Rows" or "Columns" in "Search direction". Only string "ack" can be found. [Expectation] Find & Replace works correctly when "Similarity search" has been enabled. [Addition] If unselect the "Similarity search" checkbox, the string "black" and "ack" can be found.
Created attachment 59375 [details] Calc doc for producing the problem. it only contains several words.
Can't confirm. Matching results, where applicable, are found for each of the listed words: crack black blacker ack Tried with both, Solaris/x86 OOO300_m9 and Linux/x86 DEV300_m38 builds.
Change the title, only Calc has the problem. I've tested both on DEV300m37 WinXP and DEV300m38 Linux. I'll upload a screen record of it. Thanks.

Hello doze_worm, I cannot confirm your issue with Germanophone version of OOO320m8 (3.2.0 RC1) under Debian SID AMD64 ... :( I found all the words and more without any problem. Could you test it with a newer version as well, please? Have fun Thomas.
thackert: I cannot reproduce it in DEV300m67 or OOO320m8, either. So leave it as closed.
Change to closed.
thackert: Sorry to bother. But it do has problem as discribed in the very first comment. And it can only be reproduced in Windows system. In Linux, it works well. (Version: DEV300m67 OOO320m8) Could you try it again? Thanks
Hello doze_worm, I have tried it again, but as I only has Debian SID AMD64 installed, I cannot test it for Win ... :( But if you think, it is only M$ related, you should change OS to Windows $version instead of marking it as an issue for all OSes ... ;) On my system with Debian SID AMD64, KDE 4.3.4-1 and the Germanophone version of OOO320m9 it works ... ;) And er has reported, that it works with Solaris as well ... Have fun Thomas.
And doze_worm is in his vacation too. I'm taking his part. ;-)
Hello doze_worm, redflagzhulihua, *, I stumbled again upon the issue and I can still not confirm your observation ... :( On my system (Germanophone OOO320m17 under Debian SID AMD64) it works as expected. Could you or doze_worm test it again under XP, please? @doze_worm: As you has assigned your swf file to "text/rtf", I am not able to watch this film in Firefox/Iceweasel 3.5.9. Interestingly my system will open it in OOo ... :( HTH Thomas
thackert: I retest it again, and the problem remains in the OOo320m16 on WinXP.

Hello doze_worm, *, I am not sure, what is wrong either with your attached files and/or my system ... :( I have downloaded the first one (http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/69384/issue98058-process.swf) at my disk, but if I open it in VLC, it is nearly one second long and black. The second attachment (http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/69385/issue98058-process.swf) just opens a new tab with a black background in Firefox 4.0b4, but nothing happens then ... :( But as I still have not the possibility to test it ... ;) HTH Thomas.
