i do not believe this is a bug at all; the results are correct within the api.
although it would be nice to have exact regular-expression matching -- both structured and full-text api queries are more geared toward and defined around the concept of relevancy and returning relevant results; the api does not support the concept of exact pattern-matching. the google-products features has augmented this possible shortcoming; all that can be done with the api is to approximate google-products. the approximation is most probably as alex suggested -- search by a relevant term and narrow results internally; for example, use a standardized regular-expression engine. the period and other symbols do not have abilities of well-known pattern-matching or formal posix regular-expressions syntax. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
