Find Command Functionality #266

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

The find command in the UG does not mention that the keyword matching can be partial, but the partiality match must be from the start. For example, you can find medium priorities using find pr/med but not find pr/ed.

It is quite confusing for users who do not know how the find functionality works. For example, I wanted to search for contacts with surnames that ended with Ong, like Ryan Ong and Alex Song, and it hard for me to figure out that I couldn't due to how the find function works.

Team's Response

Hi, thanks for bring this issue up.

I believe I have mentioned that "any word in the attribute contains the keyword as a prefix" in the screenshot that you have provided, this simply means that this find feature is a prefix search, i.e. a partial search where partiality match must be from the start. Therefore, I am sure that the confusion that you mentioned in the report won't happen if the user reads the user guide carefully.

Justifications on severity(in case tester and tutor disagrees with the rejection of this bug):

I think that my information provided is sufficient, but if this issue still consider as a bug, I believe is because I never bold the key behaviour of the find feature, hence, I would classify this as VeryLow.

Duplicate status (if any):
