# search for something - open search dialog
/
LIB|TEST # this works ! - thank the wizards
LIB&TEST # this doesnt.
ACPI&LIB # this would match 1st find by 1st line (a positive test)
its not a well-formed search pattern/regex in any system I know,
but it has an implied meaning ( grep FOO .config | grep TEST )
and utility - to see if FOO has a *TEST*, and where is it ?
Anyone want to look under the hood, see how its done ?
some UI tests:
searching '&' acts like a literal, returns no matches found
searching '|' doesnt search, leaves u on enter-search-term dialog
nor does '|FOO'
So '|' is recognized as special
Also, the search dialog will time out,
(below is eventual response, I think on '|FOO'
but response to '|' is "the same"
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────── Search
Results ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Symbol: -17 [=-17]
│
│ Type : unknown
│
│
│
│
│
│ Symbol: 0 [=0]
│
│ Type : unknown
│
... goes on for a while....
If you can find that spot in code, and make '&' special,
I think youre more than half way there.
