Neither do I. The search stuff is a bit of a black box to me. That test has failed a bunch of times on case-insensitive file systems, too, which drove me nuts until I figured it out and fixed it. https://github.com/theory/pod-simple/commit/2e1cee24c9fe013729880de83bb5765a431886e3 It also used to get confused by .pod files, which I fixed here: https://github.com/theory/pod-simple/commit/77391b2f2cf4268608ba9e6a2ccc44f3f9776cdf Are these the correct fixes? I have no idea. I don’t use the search stuff myself, and have no idea how it’s supposed to work.

How does this work for you? https://github.com/theory/pod-simple/commit/b174dd0927d672ce3a10b1626f4004a8276fa449 Best, DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
