different query results depending on the order of the expression

[augiedoggie]

queries in Haiku seem to require the name part of the expression to come first. For example, this works:

query -a '((name=="**")&&(BEOS:TYPE=="application/x-vnd.Be-elfexecutable"))'

but this doesn't:

query -a '((BEOS:TYPE=="application/x-vnd.Be-elfexecutable")&&(name="**")'

I came across this problem while working on some of the old BeSampleCode at HaikuArchives. I don't have BeOS installed to test but I assume the old code worked.

On a related note, I thought you could execute a query in BeOS without a name but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm not remembering it properly. Like:

query -a '(BEOS:TYPE=="application/x-vnd.Be-elfexecutable")'
