Opengrok cannot escape anchors on full search
I am using opengrok at work, trying to match certain anchors in the codebase using regular expressions
From opengrok documentation:
Escaping special characters: Opengrok supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax. Current special characters are: + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /
Since anchors are not special characters my query is as follow:
lucene fails to parse my query for some reason:
Now when I escape both anchors /\<property\>*/, it does not fail but I get 0 results. There are thousands of * text in our codebase. What am I doing wrong?
Solution
The "<" and ">" characters are not indexed by Lucene (they're not in the index), so they're not searchable.
