Problem Description

Hey. Got a problem similar to https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/issues/1630 Flow shows message ‘Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Exceptions.SearchException: Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed.’ as first result

Debugged it and I’m seeing that encodedFragmentPath var in WindowsIndex.cs:59 is containing only ‘file:’ and URI ctor fails. Did not dig deeper. Can do if needed, tho. Possible quick fix is just to wrap every result parsing with try-catch and just ignore invalid results, but thats a no-brainer from someone without knowledge on what’s going on there.

Complete exception stack: WindowsIndex Search Exception: Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Exceptions.SearchException: Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed. ---> System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed. at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind, UriCreationOptions& creationOptions) at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.WindowsIndex.WindowsIndex.ExecuteWindowsIndexSearchAsync(String indexQueryString, String connectionString, CancellationToken token)+MoveNext() in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\WindowsIndex\WindowsIndex.cs:line 70 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.WindowsIndex.WindowsIndex.ExecuteWindowsIndexSearchAsync(String indexQueryString, String connectionString, CancellationToken token)+MoveNext() in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\WindowsIndex\WindowsIndex.cs:line 70 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.WindowsIndex.WindowsIndex.ExecuteWindowsIndexSearchAsync(String indexQueryString, String connectionString, CancellationToken token)+MoveNext() in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\WindowsIndex\WindowsIndex.cs:line 70 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.WindowsIndex.WindowsIndex.ExecuteWindowsIndexSearchAsync(String indexQueryString, String connectionString, CancellationToken token)+MoveNext() in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\WindowsIndex\WindowsIndex.cs:line 70 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.WindowsIndex.WindowsIndex.ExecuteWindowsIndexSearchAsync(String indexQueryString, String connectionString, CancellationToken token)+System.Threading.Tasks.Sources.IValueTaskSource<System.Boolean>.GetResult() at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.SearchManager.SearchAsync(Query query, CancellationToken token) in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\SearchManager.cs:line 129 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.SearchManager.SearchAsync(Query query, CancellationToken token) in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\SearchManager.cs:line 129 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Search.SearchManager.SearchAsync(Query query, CancellationToken token) in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Search\SearchManager.cs:line 129 at Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer.Main.QueryAsync(Query query, CancellationToken token) in C:\projects\flow-launcher\Plugins\Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer\Main.cs:line 88
