Puzzling missing search results #35

Hi,

I'm quite fond of Neater Bookmarks (after having used Neat Bookmarks previously), because it helps me to easily access bookmarks in a large amount of folders and sub-folders. But, recently I've noticed some searches don't display the expected results, and I can't figure out what is causing it.

While for many searches typing a few letters is enough to get results in the popup box other bookmarks don't even pop up when I type an entire word. For instance, when I type 'hor', multiple results pop up,(as expected) with words like 'author' or 'short'. When I type 'rec' I would expect the same for both bookmarks with the word 'recipe' and 'recept' (the Dutch translation of recipe), but the first don't appear until I type 'reci' and the second group doesn't even appear when I type 'recept', In a similar way, nothing is shown when I type 'hos' or 'hosting',.even though a search in Chromes native bookmark manager shows six bookmarks that have the word in their title.

At first I thought, Neater Bookmarks had problems with nested sub-folders, but then I found out that some of the bookmarks that are not displayed when searching for one word, will be displayed when I search for another word in the title. For instance, a link to my web hoster has as title 'A Small Orange - Homegrown Hosting'. Neater Bookmarks does find this link when I search for 'homegrown' or even 'hom', but not when I search for 'hosting', 'small' or 'orange'. For completeness I've tried capital first letters as well, also without.result.

I'm fairly sure that some of the words I used effortlessly in the past, now lack any result, which makes me wonder if something has changed that is extension related, or if my current Chrome version (33.0.1750.29 beta-m) is to blame.

Has anyone experienced similar problems, and is there anything I can try to fix them?

Thanks in advance,

Marza

I started noticing the same thing for the first time yesterday. I'm using Chrome version Version 33.0.1750.117 m.

I'm definitely seeing a broken search feature. Seems really inconsistent as it sometimes searches for some words but other times it behaves like the search isn't even getting triggered (i.e. shows the whole bookmark list or worst, the last search result). What's most strange is that it is broken in consistent ways using certain search words, e.g. searching for "Seattle" does nothing but searching for "news" works (I have many bookmarks with Seattle or News in the titles). Most of time though, searching just does nothing (i.e. still shows the whole list of bookmarks).

Chrome version: 33.0.1750.149 m
