Package: interchange
Version: 4.6.5-1
Severity: normal
I was going through Interchange's Tutorial when I hit a bug in the search
processor.
Given the "su=yes/fi=products/sf=sku/sf=description" search profile, an empty
search string ("") will not match any item, but Interchange will process and
output the contents of both the on-match and no-match tags. Passing non-empty
strings works as expected whether it matches or not.
I assume this can't be "expected behavior" as common logic dictates that
something can be both black and white at the same time :)
* Read my comment later.
BTW, who's to blame by having chosen ambiguous names for the tags on-match and
no-match? It lends itself to typos.
Here's a minimal pages/result.html file that serves to reproduce the bug:
[search-region]
[search-list]
[/search-list]
[on-match]
<p>Matches.</p>
[/on-match]
[no-match]
<p>Not Matches.</p>
[/no-match]
[/search-region]
Well, now I've found some "clarification" on the error.log file. It reads:
127.0.0.1 wifNJa5t:127.0.0.1 - [29/abril/2001:21:33:01 -0300] tutorial
/cgi-bin/ic/tutorial/search search error: Search strings must be at least 1
characters.
> You had no search string specified.
So this was "expected behavior", but I still think it's a bug to have it match
both "on-match" and "no-match" tags. Additionally, it would be good to have a
note in the tutorial on this.

Functionality has been changed. In case an empty search is performed, or
size of search string is below the set minimum size then:
- [no-match]No Match[/no-match] returns true and will show 'No Match'
- [on-match]Matches[/on-match] returns false and will NOT show 'Matches'
- An error is logged in error.log
The search parameter controlling this is:
Fullname: mv_min_string
Abbreviation: ms
Default setting for minimum string size is 1.
