The template for Multi-Search #548

Closed StrollStars closed 1 year ago

StrollStars commented 1 year ago

I can't directly see which search engines are called from the content of the template. I will only know after using it. It is recommended to change it to a more easily identifiable display mode for easy modification.

Multi-search is a bit underdeveloped. The easiest way to code something useful would be to put the names of the engines used in the description field. Would that be suitable?

StrollStars commented 1 year ago

I don't think so, put the engine name in the description field, it will still be unclear after more. Is the template field in the Multi-Search now showing the internal code of the engine? Can it be displayed so that it is easy to find what engine it is.

Yeah, internal ID

Can it be displayed so that it is easy to find what engine it is.

It may be a bit tricky but I'll see what can be done.

Thank you and waiting for your good news.

@ssborbis ①The current order in which the tabs are opened and the order in which they are added to the description is reversed. Can it be the same? Easy to adjust manually. ②In the Context Menu, can I click on a folder item to directly start all the search in the folder(Multi-Search)?

ssborbis commented 1 year ago

Are you using forceOpenResultsTabsAdjacent = true ?

@ssborbis ①Thanks, I understand. ②Do you think it's easy to do?

Not on a folder. The Context Menu API doesn't allow any actions on a folder aside from opening, so as a developer, I can't see when a user clicks a folder. The workaround is to enable CS Options -> Context Menu -> General -> "Show an option to search the entire folder at the top of the menu"

Or are you wanting to know what engines are used in a multisearch from the search menus? I thought you meant from the options page.

It meets my needs, thanks for your help.

That's great, it looks very intuitive.

Can multisearch be added to the recently used as a complete engine?
