Subject: Parenthesised query breaks query it is embedded in
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 08:20:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y221txsi.fsf@athena.silentflame.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have this subquery:
subject:("Cron <dak@" and "sudo -u dak-unpriv /srv/")
as one of many queries in a long one like this: (q1) or (q2) or (q3) ..
Including that particular subquery breaks the whole thing: results which
should be included by other disjuncts are not included. I suspect but
have not confirmed that each disjunct after the problematic one stops
matching anything.
The query works fine on its own. And I can work around the problem by
replacing it with
subject:"Cron <dak@" and subject:"sudo -u dak-unpriv /srv/"
Seems like a parsing bug. Thanks.
