Description Sam Davis CLA 2012-08-22 18:32:27 EDT 
pre. Typing "right  click" should find tasks with "right click" in their summaries.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-09-01 21:20:38 EDT 
As far as I can tell, this is the expected behavior. The default search looks for exact matches. Why should it collapse space characters?
Comment 2 Sam Davis CLA 2012-09-04 13:55:43 EDT 
Well, it's easy to accidentally type 2 spaces and not realize it (or wind up with 2 after going back and editing your search), and it's hard to imagine a scenario where you would actually want to search for consecutive spaces.
Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-10-25 15:05:58 EDT 
I don't see that as a common problem that two spaces are entered and don't see a reason to add special handling for spaces since that would be inconsistent.
