- The decoding of base-64 data in emails fails in a relatively uncommon but

|
64 |
sometimes encountered case.

- If a filter fails while trying to extract the data from a file, the file
|
|
|
71 |
will not be indexed at all (not even the file name). The file
|
|
|
72 |
name should be indexed in this case. This happens in particular in the
|
|
|
73 |
very common case where the helper application is not installed (ie:
|
|
|
74 |
missing Exiftool -> no *.jpg names in the index).
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
- If several query language "ext:" qualifiers are specified, they will be
|
|
|
77 |
joined by an AND instead of OR, resulting in no results. Using an
|
|
|
78 |
explicit OR doesn't work (actually OR + field names is generally
|
|
|
79 |
broken). In some cases, you can use a "type:" qualifier as a workaround.
