Omnibar history (fixed in v1.0.5)/bookmark (NOT fixed) search doesn't like spaces anymore (v1.x)

See original GitHub issue

Update 2022-03-18; b issue

Surfingkeys 1.0.5.

The issue for oh, t and T was fixed in v1.0.5; but as @nbaudis mentioned below that the b (Open a bookmark) command still suffer from the same issue described in the original report down below.

Searching in Omnibar, specially for history and bookmarks, is very important as it’s the front-end of a user data; I hope, again as it fixed for other commands, to be fixed for the b command. Thank you!


Original report (2022-01-07); fixed in v1.0.5

Title (was): Omnibar history search doesn’t like spaces anymore (v1.x)

Hello,

Surfingkeys 1.0.2.

Suppose you visited these links:

https://github.com/foo/bar
https://www.youtube.com/user/bar
https://gitlab.com/foo/bar
https://github.com/baz/qux

Invoking oh (Open URL from history) command then typing gith<space>bar:

  • Prior to v1.x:
    • This will show https://github.com/foo/bar as the result of the search.
  • v1.x:
    • Nothing will shows up the moment you hit the space key as mentioned in the search term above.

The idea of using “gith” is to filter all history first then applying another filter to the desired web page. This way I don’t get results from GitLab if I wanted https://github.com/foo/bar page. Searching with the term “bar” alone will show a lot of false positive results, but typing a prefix, part of website’s name, <space> then a term is much better to get few hits. Another example is to type yo<space>bar to get history results for “bar” in YouTube website.

I noticed that t (Open a URL) and T (Choose a tab) commands are working fine with the search term I mentioned, so the issue is only in oh Omnibar.

I hope you can fix this as I’m relaying on this type of search and filter a lot. Thank you!

@nbaudis

I discovered that using t (Open URL) command can search bookmarks without issues in re. to what mention in OP.

Still, the list is clutter with other type of URLs.

My test was on latest 40a37ec that I built from upstream.

Hope this helps.
