Description S Page 2008-03-22 08:59:21 UTC
Even if you enable the ~ comparator in $smwgQComparators in SMW_Settings.php,
querying a many-valued property for ~*partial* doesn't work.

For example, using ontoworld.org's [[Property:Employment]] and [[Einstein]] article
  [[Employment::?;~?atent*;?;?]]

doesn't find Einstein's "patent examiner" job.

The reason this doesn't work is that SMW_DV_NAry.php's prepareValue method doesn't match SMW_QueryProcessor.php's prepareValue method.  The latter compares $smwgQComparators and checks for case '~', the former hardcodes.

After copying code, the above example works in SMW 1.0.

Ideally the common code should be in a common function, but at least the code in each place should comment
   // The same code is in SMW_DV_NAry.php's prepareValue()
and vice-versa.

Here's the "copying code" fix.

Comment 2 Markus Krötzsch 2008-06-08 15:26:19 UTC
I now have made the function in SMWQueryParser static, so it can directly be called from the n-ary datavalue implementation.
