Description: Certain results of a calculation will land a scientific format without having changed the cell format. Searching then for that result, fails. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a cell some formula that lands a scientific result. eg =8.765432/10000000000 ==> 8.765432E-10 2. Copy that result and search for it in the usual ctrl-F box 8.765432E-10 Actual Results: Search key not found.. but it's right there. Expected Results: Search and find the concept of that number either as the long form or the scientific but especially at least the scientific calc just created for itself. Search should find what is present. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Simple bug likely with simple solution.. the format of the number should not confuse the spreadsheet or the users.
Repro. Searching for 0.0000000008765432 succeeds. But e.g. search for 0.00000000087654320 or for 00.0000000008765432 fails. So it looks like it converts numeric values to a fixed-format string, and compares to search string, without trying the other way round.
Dear davidpbrown, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
