Extension Instant Search & Completition

[ImprovedTube]

1. Our search in the extension:

• [ ] To implement more functional search, the least we got to cover is Synonyms/Tags & language/s (english + and the user's language, and secondary langauges set in the browser) https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/discussions/748 )

• [ ] Possibly with a 3rd party JS/indexDB search lib. While "overpowered here, it wont harm & we should learn the most performant one anyways for History Manager https://github.com/code-for-charity/History-Manager-with-indexedDB (instead of reinventing this wheel) ( inspiration: https://github.com/nextapps-de/bulksearch - or the most actively developed one today....) (please test History manager!)

2. bugs since v4.0:

• [x] bug: doesnt find any string with spaces..

  • didnt happen before: https://github.com/code-for-charity/SATUS/issues/3

    • #2201, thanks! @raszpl

  • [x] instant search is missing (=focus on the input) ( why? @victor-savinov )

  • [ ] bug in satus.js with marking text in all ~inputs~ text areas (ctrl+a)

bugs, which always happened:

• [ ] Not focused to react to keys when going back to home screen - (refers to version: https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/releases/tag/v3.900 )
  • [ ] of course it can also listen to keyboard input in our folders / sections (except when setting hotkeys). Only difference in search results then can be to show each folder's results on top, before other results. (in general the section names could just be for the sorting order)

@ImprovedTube I see the problem now, thanks for updating the report. It looks like this is an issue with @victor-savinov's Satus library. The version in the ImprovedTube repo is minified so its missing all the readable variable names which makes it hard to understand. @victor-savinov Doesn't have the none-minified version uploaded anywhere so I can't really fix it.

In the future it would be better to have the un-minified version in the repo and just have the minification built into the build script for quicker development.

@ImprovedTube Also I don't think there exists a bug that is not already an existing feature, so no real use to adding the feature exists label to bugs it should be used for feature requests where the feature exists in another form (such as a feature that exists in another extension)

Satus

Exactly! Firefox also requires source / unminified.
