P: Issue in text filter Caption Ends With

The Smart Collection search options of 'ends with' doesn't appear to be working. When using 'Folder' 'ends with' 'Test' it includes all photos under the root folder of 'Test Photos'.

Similar examples such as 'Folder' 'ends with' 'Test Lucia' return all photos that are under the root 'Test Photos' and have 'Lucia' somewhere in the folder name.

As far as I can tell so far there is no difference between using contains all and ends with. Or starts with for that matter.

Still present in LR 4 beta.

Gotcha.

I agree that the second case, Caption Ends With "a" matches caption "a b", is consistent with the way Starts With works. But since Becky of Adobe acknowledged Starts With as a bug, I thought it best to also mention that Ends With has a similar issue:

Regarding xab but not aab:

Sounds like a data-sensitive bug reminiscent of the "Big Mallard Ducks" bug in 'Contains Words'.

However, the second case is to be expected (ends-with "a" matching "a b").

The way Lightroom works, it divides the search term up by spaces, then subjects each to the search criteria: "a" does end with "a" (I thought you were the one who pointed this out to me in the 'starts with' thread ;?) This behavior is awesome *iff* you dont have any spaces in your metadata, which my keywords don't, anymore, ever since I realized that Lightroom does not handle spaces properly. This behavior however is especially bad for searching captions, etc...

Space Urchin on the other hand, has been specifically designed to consider spaces as part of the search term, and will not match ends-with "a" unless the whole search term ends with "a".

Also,

Caption Ends With "a"

matches caption "a b".
