bug in search in Finder
I think I've found a reproducible bug in Panther.
Search for something simple that turns up a few hits. In my case I search for "january" and get about four hits.
Next search for any file containing "pl". Nothing special about this except that it turns up lots of hits.
After 5,281 hits search stops adding new items but the progress widget keeps rotating.
Close the search window.
Now repeat the search for the item you searched for in the beginning. In my case it finds nothing and the progress widget rotates indefinitely.
If I log out and log back in then search is fixed. I've repeated this three times and it has behaved the same each time. Already dropped a note to Apple.
Anyone care to confirm?
