For example, if I have a property set: [[propX::this_value]] It comes back as "this value". If you then try to use that in a search: [[propX::this value]] it does not match. This is a problem if you do something like this: {{#ask:[[propX::+]]|?propX}} You get a list of all pages with the value for propX, some of which will be "that value". But if you want to narrow the list by doing this: {{#ask:[[propX::that value]]|?propX}} Will return nothing, since those pages actually had propX::that_value
Can you reproduce this behaviour on sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org?
Ah, no. I just realized the property is not set type String, but it's listed as part of a property page that is a String -- I'm using it to fetch the "allowed values" which is why I was thinking "but it's a string...". Whew. So sorry about that -- this is not a bug! BTW I get a database error viewing: http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Properties
Ok, closing this bug report then. (I also fixed the other problem on the sandbox, this was just an installation problem on that site.)
