[BUG] search operators seem not to work #379

Closed cristianrz closed 2 years ago

Describe the bug

I have installed both the ubuntu version and the flatpak version and search operators seem not to work. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I don't know what.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. search for pdf, files appear
  2. search for odt, files appear
  3. search for pdf OR odt, nothing appears
  4. search for pdf || odt, nothing appears

Expected behavior pdf OR odt shows files that include pdf and files that include odt in their name

Desktop (please complete the following information):

   System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
                  LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: us
       X11 Model: pc105

Thx for the report. You're doing nothing wrong, those search operators just require FSearch 0.2 to work, which will be released in a couple of days -- if no major issues arises.

If you want to try them out right now you need to use the daily PPA with the development builds.
