Topic: Loogle bug?
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 15:50):
"ℕ" fails to find termℕ, which "termℕ" succeeds in for some reason

oh I remember this
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:17):
looks like loogle doesn't find a declaration when you search for its last "letter" (whatever that means) and you only search by name fragments
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:17):
interesting
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:19):
oh I figured it out
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:19):
this is really stupid
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:19):
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:20):
it subtracts one, but List.range n only goes from 0 to n - 1 anyways, so it ends up going from 0 to s.length - 2
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:21):
and when you drop s.length - 2 you end up with a string of length 2
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:21):
so the length one suffix never gets added
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:21):
import Lean
elab "test" : term => do
have s := "testing"
for i in List.range (s.length - 1) do -- -1 to not consider the empty suffix
let suf := s.drop i
Lean.logInfo suf
return Lean.mkNatLit 1
#check test
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:21):
yep your observation is correct
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:21):
the last printed message is ng
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:22):
@Aaron Liu you could probably just PR?
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:22):
what
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:22):
why me
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:22):
you found the error code
Aaron Liu (Oct 25 2025 at 16:23):
fine I'll do it
Kenny Lau (Oct 25 2025 at 16:23):
thanks!
