Gang,

I'm just going to forward a question by a list owner rather than rewrite
it in my own words. It behaves exactly as he stated, and I don't know where to
begin looking for a problem. I'm lost on this one. We are running 1.8e, 27 May
2002 build date.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Also the email below is from 2/24,
about a month old.

-Jim

Jim;
  This is something I have been meaning to ask for a long time, but I've
a really good example here so am finally asking. I used "today" in this
search, but 4/2/24 produces the same result.

> s * in autocat from today
-> 9 matches.

To order a copy of these postings, send the following command:

             GETPOST AUTOCAT 3027 11190 90345 101654-101659
          --------------------------------------------------

How did 3027 (from 1992), 11190 (from 1993) and 90345 (from 2002)
get into a search for date 4/2/24 ?  *AND*  90345 is not a single item
it is two; the item indexed, from John J. Marr, plus an item from
Colleen Turnage (sp?).  Do a GETPOST AUTOCAT for 90345 and you will get
the double item, neither of which are 4/2/24 items.

Have you an idea why this happens?  Not a major problem, just something
I've been puzzling about for a long while without finding any explanatory
pattern (the first two have 24:xx:xx times, but the third has a 12:xx:xx
time; the fourth, linked to the third differs in how the date is given:
Sat, July 13/Sat, 13 July).
