PR #1124

Can we clarify a little more about the problem(s) that users are hitting?

One thing I've been thinking about is to have the search form remain on search results page, pre-filled with the search parameters. This would make it easier to adjust the search if it doesn't yield the desired result. It would also make it clearer just what search was performed.

Usage pattern is not clear. They expect substring search as default and often don't know, that glob mask is required for that. So, searching for 'koji' in rpm search doesn't yield any results, which is confusing.

I've filed #1130 as a follow up

Commit 52ce5291 fixes this issue

Commit 5aad0b2b fixes this issue

With respect, this didn't fix the search form. As @tkopecek said,

They expect substring search as default

Because it should be. The "Glob" mode should assume that an input of foo means *foo*, if not unilaterally then at least if foo contains no asterisks. Otherwise, what's the point of a separate "Exact" search mode, when "Glob" with no wildcards == "Exact"?
