Description _ leonchiver 2007-08-10 14:07:09 UTC 
if you type JB*n, it you'll find JButton, but if you type only *tton no types are found.
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2007-08-28 19:44:14 UTC 
As designed, AFAIK.
Comment 2 Petr Hrebejk 2007-08-29 08:09:47 UTC 
Yes, unfortunately as designed. But leaving it open I should give a reasonable message when user does it.
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2007-08-29 08:43:32 UTC 
The problem with wildcard at the beginning is that it's a greedy search, it may take a long time. The pattern entered
into the GoTo type is rewritten into pattern* (prefix), if the pattern starts with *, it is a *pattern* which implies
that the pattern has to be compared with all the class names in the index. But anyway we may try it.
