[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Worrisome Find bug

ws0n+@andrew.cmu.edu.UUCP (10/30/87)

Someone mentioned this a long time ago on comp.sys.mac, and I'm surprised I
didn't see more comments about it.  There is a strange bug in the Find
command.  In the Phone stack, try to Find "ann".  You can't.  Strangely
enough, you can Find "arbor"--and darned if it isn't part of the name "Ann
Arbor".  Find "an" doesn't work either, as I recall.  I tried retyping "Ann
Arbor", cutting and pasting, and putting it in another card.  No luck.  This
worked on three different HyperCard installations; does it work on yours?

This kind of worries me, since the Find functionality is a major part of
HyperCard's appeal.
