Hi! Somehow I missed the notification for this issue. I just discover it now. I quickly tried to have a look, but docfetcher won't start on my system because it returns some java error. But I can have another look if you are still interested. So in that case then please just let me know...

I have the same problem on POP-OS 20.20. It only show 'Loading'.

Hi! Thanks for reporting this issue. I found DocFetcher has introduced some security measure to use the PythonApi. So before a program (e.g. this extension) can use the python api, you have to set the variable PythonApiEnabled in the "conf" directory of your DocFetcher directory to "true". (These instruction I found in the search.py file in the docfetcher folder). I will update the instructions in the README file.

I think the docfetcher gui is very nice b.t.w. while the (docfetcher) search functionality of this extension is quite rudimentary. Maybe its functionality is already fine for you. Otherwise, if you know some python and if you like such things, then you are welcome to hack on the extension using the instructions in the docfetcher search.py file.
