Hi,
Occasionally, I need to search my publications by their Cite Keys,
which are autogenerated with hyphens (e.g. mccra-maxwe-hofma-
etal04a-bgamyb).
Trouble is, when I search for "smith-adams" in the Quick Search
field, and I ask for matches in "Any Field", BibDesk returns all
publications that have "smith" AND "adams" substrings, and not only
the publications that contain the hyphenated query.
Why is the hyphen treated as a space/AND? I could not find an
answer in the help sections on Quick Search or in the Advanced
Search Options.
I'm not sure, this is not done by BibDesk itself. I guess SearchKit
treats some characters such as hyphens equivalent to space.
Ok, I'll dig into the SearchKit documentation ...
Next, I investigated the Database Find and Replace tool.
Hyphenated queries work when I search the "Abstract" field. But,
oddly enough, no results are returned when I search for an existing
hyphenated cite key (e.g. smith-adams) with the "Cite Key" field
selected.
You must have done something wrong (and I can't say what), as this
will simply do a substring match. Perhaps case sensitivity, or a
different hyphen character or another typo?
It doesn't seem so ... I am not getting any results, regardless of
what I use for the query. This behaviour seems to be unique to Find
and Replace with the "Cite Key" selected ... I am able to search other
fields without a problem !?
thx, -s.

Puzzled ...
Thanks in advance for your help,
