[elephant-devel] String class index broken?

[Chris Laux]

Hi all,

as I couldn't find information about the strange behaviour shown below
elsewhere, I just wanted to report it here. I'm indexing class "user"
over slot "nick" that contains strings. When I query the index using all
lowercase letters, I get an ambiguous (and wrong!?) response, but when I
stick to the original casing, it works as expected (and documented?).

This isn't actually going to stop me from being able to use Elephant,
but I thought it worth reporting.

Regards,

Chris Laux
