Subject: [sup-talk] OR query does not yield any result

Hi,
when I press F and give query as "manish OR nobodypqr" it does not yield
any result. However I do get results when I query the index using 
devel./console.sh.

Is this know issue or am I missing something?

Thanks and Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Reformatted excerpts from Manish Sapariya's message of 2008-01-30:

The behavior should be the same, except that querying through Sup
automatically removes results from spam, deleted and killed messages.
Could that explain the difference?

If not, I need a few more details. What version of Sup? Can you give an
dump of the console.sh session, so I can see exactly what you're doing?
Finally, in Sup, when you execute the query, there should be two
corresponding lines in the log: one starting with "normalized" and one
starting with "got XXX results". Can you paste those in to the email as
well?

Thanks,

Hi William,
Here are the snippets from log and output of devel/console.sh query.

=======log sniipet ===
normalized "manish OR nobodyxyzpqrkljasdf" to "body:manish body:nobodyxyzpqrkljasdf"
got 0 results for query (offset 0) +(+body:manish +body:nobodyxyzpqrkljasdf) -label:spam -label:delete

normalized "manish or nobodyxyzpqrdalkjdfad" to "+body:manish +body:or +body:nobodyxyzpqrdalkjdfad"
got 0 results for query (offset 0) +(+body:manish +body:or +body:nobodyxyzpqrdalkjdfad) -label:spam -label:delete
=====================

I was expecting all mails having manish in it to show up, but
none were reported.

=======console snippet =========
[manish at alioth sup]$ sh ./devel/console.sh

[25951] [Manish Sapariya <manish at gslab.com>] [manish here]
[25985] [Manish Sapariya <manish at gslab.com>] [Manish here]

===============================

Just FYI, as you can see in log snippet 'or' and 'OR' are treated differently.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Manish

Thanks! Try in the current git. I think this was due to the
query normalization, which I've removed.
