Label trouble

A search on {Label WHERE Topic ~ X} will find matches on either of the Topic attributes.

Ok, I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I Labeled the following quote:

when I run search with "=" it gives no results:

but when I use "~" it finds the right quote:

does it have to do with having multiple topics?

That's what I concluded following Bradley's advice in your other thread!

So you have one Topic entry with multiple values and must use ~

~ works equally well when there is only one value. So we should just use ~ exclusively, unless there is a performance penalty. Still, I think it is a BUG.

~ means "contains" so it is very powerful as a shorthand for a lengthy word, or to identify one value from multiple values e.g.

Name => Anybody; Anyone  ---> the two values for Name are probably stored like this so I cannot use equals for a match. Use

Name ~Anybody

or

Name ~Any
