Search question

I have a yes/no attribute for "completed" tasks.

If I run a search with "completed" equals "No", and then another search with "Completed" does not equal "yes", I come up with 2 different lists. Why do I not get the same result, since the outcome should be the same?

This has been confirmed as a bug in the search logic.

The workaround is fairly simple, use the more direct method of searching ( = Yes or = No), or add another criteria of <attribute> exists to your search...

The other issue that can cause a difference is if you don't assign a value to a boolean attribute (leaving the value NULL). In this case, searching for Not = "Yes" is not equal to = "No"... Note: this only occurs if you add a boolean attribute to an Info Item, and Esc without choosing a value...

A fix for these reported problems will be included in a future release of Ultra Recall. Thanks for reporting it.
