Bug in History Search field

Hi there,

There is a field called mit_history_search field which should always
contain the first 2000 characters of the mit_history field.  This is
necessary in order to be able to do any kind of search on the history
field...in this case on the first 2000 characters, since the mit_history
field itself is not searchable.

However, it turns out that that is not working, as it seems that many
(2228) of the logs have an _empty_ mit_history_search field even though
their mit_history field is not empty.  This means these logs can not be
found using the History Only Search. This is an important bug.

David/Peter, could you take a look at this?



SQL> select count(*) from mit_logs where mit_history IS NOT NULL
     and mit_history_search IS NULL;

  COUNT(*)
----------
      2288


Thanks,
-Debi
