Search only matches beginning of clipboard entries #36

Only the beginning of clipboard entries is matched when typing a word in the clipboard history window. Searching should match anywhere inside the entries, not just the beginning.

Related to this, there's no way to jump to the next match of a search (or is there?).

Hi,

I have to admit that I didn't realise that the selection widget actually offered search capabilities - it looks like this is enabled by default when you create the TreeView object!

Having had a quick play around, I've figured out how to create a custom search function, which does case-insensitive x in y rather than y.startswith(x) comparison:

...snip...
tree = Gtk.TreeView(model)
tree.set_search_equal_func(self.search_selection, tree)
...snip...

@staticmethod
def search_selection(model, column, key, iterator, data):
        return not key.lower() in model[iterator][0].lower()

However I'd like to tidy up the whole search interface in the UI to add things like prev/next match buttons, case-sensitivity toggle, starts with/contains toggles etc. Since it's there, we might as well make it useful!

I'll see about doing some work on this in the near future - but of course you're welcome to take a look yourself if you like!

@sebastianst A workaround is to use clipster together with rofi, which has fuzzy matching: clipster -o -n 0 -0 | rofi -i -dmenu -sep '\x00' -eh 2 -p paste: | sed -ze 's/\n$//' | clipster
