P: Starts With … text filter on captions or filename incorrectly matches words

[montyv89440413]

The previous behavior was to match a caption or filename that starts with the search string.

For example, searching for filename that "Starts With" "FE" matches both "FeeDemoWall.jpg" and "Big Tree 12 Feet.jpg"

The same behaviour happens searching for captions. Maybe other things too but I only tested these two.

I too observe this change in behavior from LR 13.2 and previous versions. It also affects Keywords Starts With.

Also the "Ends with" filter on a caption does no longer work. It returns the same as the "contains" filter.

Bonjour, 

Sur Mac, je viens de faire la MaJ vers LRC 13.5 et j'ai remarqué un bug : 

- lors de la création d'une "Collection dynamique"

- avec un filtre sur la propriété "Nom de Fichier" le critère "Commençant par" fonctionne désormais comme "Contient". 

A connaissance, cela fonctionnait jusqu'à la version précédente, c'est donc une régression de la 13.5. 

Pouvez-vous corriger rapidement ? (enfin moins lentement que d'habitude)

Adobe has acknowledged this bug. Unfortunately, they rarely indicate ahead of time when a bug will be fixed.

A different aspect of Starts With/Ends With also broke in LR 13.3:

As with this behavior, it had originally been broken and fixed somewhere between LR 7 and LR 8.3, and then broke again in LR 13.3. I wonder if a developer accidentally restored an old version of some code and introduced a true bug regression.

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

The team has confirmed the previous issue regressed in 13.3 and we've opened a new bug.

LrC 14.1.1 and this is not fixed. Shame on Adobe.

14.3 and still no fix.  Can this please get some attention !

[montyv89440413]

This can't be that difficult of a fix. I have thousands of captions created with this search pattern in mind and it's a PITA to have lots of other photos match when I'm searching for that set.

v14.4 and still the same odd behaviour:

"ends with"- or "start with"-filter matches words of the text not the complete text.

14.5 just came out and... STILL the bug is there. It's a simple bug to fix (I'm a sw engineer) but a PITA to live with. Why??
