I was trying to use ^ as a beginning of a string and $ as the end of a string. 
To tell BZ that I just want ooo and nothing else like os_ooo.

The problem here is that os_ooo, mst.ooo and wuyan.ooorg are also excluded but 
I only want to exclude ooo (besides the other like openoffice...).

So why does it not work when I just use ooo as the value? I also tried using 
"ooo" and 'ooo' but that did not work either.
Is there a special way to tell BZ that ooo is a string, that I might have 
missed?

thx
