Pref pane search feature can't handle a space

Last edited by dgbeecher on Sat May 09, 2020 11:57 pm, edited 1 time in total.

It seems that the search feature of the preference pane (ie, component #8 listed here) has trouble handling the space character. The search stops finding results as soon as I type any letter after a space.

For example, when searching "gas bill", the results go blank as soon as I type the "b" after the space.

And when searching "bank of america", the results go blank as soon as I type the "o" after the space.

This is particularly an issue for me because I handle paperwork for myself and my spouse. We have a lot of the same accounts, and I prepend rules for these accounts with our initials and a space. Because the space breaks the search, I can't effectively filter my rules to find each person's specific accounts.

If this has been reported before, my apologies; I searched but couldn't find anything similar.

If more information would be helpful, let me know and I'd be happy to provide.

Using Hazel 4.4.4 (build 1576) on macOS 10.15.4.

I'll look into it though not sure when the next patch will go out.

Hello Mr Noodle. Congrats on the release of v5! It looks very nice.

First thing I tested, of course, was whether the search feature could handle a space (as described above). Unfortunately, it seems it can't, yet.

I use the search feature all the time, and am always confused when it gives up on me after I type a space. Any chance this may be improved in the future?

Thank you ~~

Sorry I didn't get around to looking into this before. It's a bit lower priority compared other issues but I'll try and get to it at some point.

Sounds good, thanks!
