query.cc:set_probabilistic returns NEW_QUERY when the query hasn't changed

[mdt]

query.cc:set_probabilistic returns NEW_QUERY when the query hasn't changed. This occurs when a prefix term contains a period such as mime:application/vnd.ms-excel

Using $setmap{boolprefix,mime,T} the previous query value becomes: xP=Tapplication/vnd.ms-excel.

The previous query string is parsed on '.' producing two terms. The short-cut code returns NEW_QUERY preventing the user from being able to browse more then the first page of results

// short-cut: if the new query has fewer terms, it must be a new one

Even without the short-cut, the term will get split at the dot and not match. We need to use a different separator I guess. I've produced a patch which compiles but I've not tested otherwise as I have a large backlog from being away. If you could try it out, that'd be great.

Patch

The xP query string is still constructed with periods, the behavior is unchanged.

Oh sorry - you also need to change the query template where xP is produced to:

$if{$queryterms,<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=xP VALUE="$html{$queryterms}">}

[mdt]

That works much better :) New and old save queries appear to be working fine.

Thanks for testing - fix committed.
