Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2002-05-22 17:29:54 EDT 
Using Eclipse 2.0, Build F1 (buildid: 20020521) 
on Windows 2000.

NOTE: You need to have something in your workspace for this error to come up. I 
just imported org.eclipse.core.boot and this happens.

In Search->Java Search, searching for "*" with all the default options set 
gives an error message like: "An error occured during the search operation: -1".
The default options are:

Case sensitive: No
Search For: Type 
Limit To: References
Scope: Workspace

Searching for "*" anywhere else seems to behave properly (considering the 
input).

Comment 3 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-05-27 06:18:05 EDT 
TypeReferencePattern.segments was created empty when it should have been a char 
array containing only '*'.

Fixed.
