Summary | 0001968: Finding Mars | ||||
Description | Searching for Mars in the search box finds Kappa Herculis instead. The common name of the star is Marsic. Searching through the dialog > Solar system > Mars finds Mars OK. Same thing happens on two computers, both with the same SVN build. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Type mars<enter> in the search box. | ||||
Additional Information | Thanks for solving the search stars problem. This may be related? | ||||

This problem is a result of a recent update of the star name from the IAU list where they use the name Marsic for Kappa Herculis, previously it was Marfic but this probably make confusion with Lambda Ophiuchi, This is also because CdC always search for substring when you type something in the search box, so typing mars effectively search for *mars* You can get a more precise search function by using the menu Edit/Advanced search. In this case selecting "Solar system" and "Mars" find the planet Mars. A way to improve that will be to first do a search for the exact name, then if nothing is found do the substring search as now. |

This is fixed by searching first for the exact star or nebula name and doing the partial name search only at the very end if nothing else is found. I also stop searching for comet if only a number is given, this must consistently return an asteroid. https://github.com/pchev/skychart/commit/0af9f266870863ecefe54852f3c19ba644aba12f |
