http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4671 ------- Comment #1 from doerre@de.ibm.com 2007-06-26 17:02 ------- Hello Felix, The FTTF considered your problem report in its F2F, June 2007. Here is our answer: There was no perceived user requirement to have full regular expression support, and implementers were worried about the additional complexity in a part of the full/text engine where regular expressions are usually not supported. We have chosen to support wildcards in a way that actually uses syntax which is compatible with regular expressions. Hence, when a requirement to have more complete regular expression support should come up, we can add this support without backward imcompatibility. Does this answer your question? If yes, could you please close the bug.
