[dsdp-tm-dev] Re: Your checkin on UniversalSearchHandler v1.8

[David McKnight <dmcknigh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked it in without a bug because
I just wanted to communicate a change back to Xuan.   Apparently there
is some other problem that needs investigation with search so we''ll need
to deal with this more formally anyway.

Subject	Your checkin on UniversalSearchHandler v1.8

Hi Dave / Xuan,

yesterday you checked in this:

dstore - search using canonical path
UniversalSearchHandler v1.8

There is no bugzilla id attached, and no comment in the
code. Can you explain why you think a canonical path is
needed? 

I think that using a canonical path in this place
can be problematic. Assume that user has been searching
from root /home/symlink/foo... recursively and this
resolves to /bar/foo... would we really want to see the
resolved canonical path? I'd assume that user would be
more interested in the path as he has been searching.

Cheers,
