Re: [VuFind-Tech] fuzzy exception

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Interesting -- I only see the problem in the VuFind demo if I use a value of 1.0 exactly!

http://vufind.org/demo/Search/Results?lookfor=roam~1.0&type=AllFields&submit=Find

If I use a higher value, VuFind correctly detects a syntax error and displays an appropriate message:

http://vufind.org/demo/Search/Results?lookfor=roam~1.1&type=AllFields&submit=Find

It should be fairly trivial to catch the "minimumSimilarity >= 1" exception and fail more gracefully.

I have opened a JIRA ticket for this issue:

http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-537

If you have time to deal with it, please post a patch there.  Otherwise, I will address it when I find the time.

Thanks for reporting the problem!
