I couldn't find a similar question, forgive me if this is a duplicate. To illustrate the problem, I'll use the following example on SO:

We previously had java-ee, java-ee-5, java-ee-6 questions so I have java-ee* in my list of interesting tags which is translated into https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java-ee~ (java-ee or java-ee-5 or java-ee-6).

But java-ee-5 and java-ee-6 questions have been retagged now and java-ee is the only tag left. The problem is that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java-ee~ (java-ee or '') returns 0 questions while there are many (504+) questions with the java-ee tag.

IMO, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java-ee~ should return the 504+ questions as well.

  • confirm. the link you give returns 0. this link (stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java-e~) gets all of them; note the single-character difference. (oops, except it also gets a few other tags. not quite as useful as i thought.)

  • @quack Indeed, but as you noticed java-e~ matches more than one tag. The bug is when there is only one match.

There was an extra "or" being added to the end of the wildcard explode operation, which was preventing the single result case from working. Should be fixed now.
