Description

When i start a search within attribute tables with Mimas (1.0.3), searches return results as if it was a SQL request -> SELECT * FROM table WHERE column like '%word_to_search%'

When i start a search within attribute tables with Enceladus (1.0.4), searches return results as if it was an exact match SQL request -> SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'word_to_search'

I don't know if it's referenced as bug but I prefer the previous behaviour. The new one is too rigid...

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 15 years ago

Did you tried adding the wildcards?

#2 Updated by GuZzO - about 15 years ago

I tried adding % and * before and/or after the word I searched but nothing changes....
I only got results when i search the exact word (including capitals letters)

I use PostGIS as vectors provider.

Unfortunately "Quick search" is not an "find" anymore. Wildcards are not accepted, unescaped SQL also gives errors.
I.e. try to find "ab'c" ->

syntax error, unexpected Unknown_CHARACTER, expecting $end

Also it allows to inject SQL. I.e. select all records:

text' or 1=1 or COLUMN like 'text

Tested on QGIS trunk r12951M with Shapefile (DBF).

#4 Updated by Martin Dobias almost 15 years ago
