Nasby @ 2005-08-17 22:42 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgsql-docs I know this might be more www than docs, but I'm not on that list... It appears that the search box uses % and _ as wildcards. This is fine (though we should make mention of it since people are probably more used to * and ? in search boxes, even if they are DBAs), but the problem is it doesn't seem to allow escaping them. For example, search on 'pg_stat_activity current_query'. -- Jim C.
