jssatchell / hypersearch Goto Github PK

Sorry but the current size is way too small for my eyes...probably worse for people with sight impairment...
Would be nice if the font size can be configured somewhere.

I added one more search engine as douban and saved the file, and then restart Hypersearch, and type "set>search>douban"
but it does not work.

douban="https://www.douban.com/search?q="

If you click on one of the scroll bars in the category list or the links list the mouse will become "stuck" to the scroll bar and left click will be unavailable in any window.

Work arounds:

• Right click anywhere in the HyperSearch window
• Alt+Tab to any other window and then left click to close the HyperSearch window.

Links imported with characters such as ( ) will cause problems.

This will be resolved in a future release.

Not sure if this is even possible, but I use multiple monitors and my internet browser is most often on my second screen. Would it be possible to have HS open on the "active" monitor, i.e. where the mouse currently is or where the last active program is?

Categories created with a label containing only a single character will not appear.

Workaround: Add a Space character at the end of the desired category name

One of my major use case is to search text data in Excel. Suppose on collum 1 is the first name, on collum 2 is the surname, then we have Jackson White. When searching with HyperSearch, only Jackson will be searched. I have tested on a txt files with Jackson tab White, and the result is the same.

In such cases, my current work arround is to copy and use PowerToys with Alt+Space, which will pick up Jackson White and the tab is recognized as a space.

When importing categories via .csv files, if an imported category has the same name as an existing category the links from the new category will not be visible.

Workaround: Rename the existing category before or after the import and the new category and links will become visible.

Category and link label names cannot contain the characters [, ], (, ), or |

These are used by the program to read the link data and will cause unexpected errors if used improperly.

By the same token, if you're trying to search the internet and your input includes a + character, a new category will be created instead of executing the desired search.

The left mouse click is blocked while certain message boxes are active. However, these message boxes should still respond to keyboard input to select the desired button and dismiss the message box.

Known affected message boxes so far:

• Messages associated with relocating a file when not found at the specified path in File mode

Clicking the title bar of a popup alert generated by the program will cause the message box to be "stuck" to the mouse.

Fix: Press Escape and the message box will be released
