YourSearchPlugin: search string "note"

[Wolfgang]

Hi Yakov,

it seams that YSP does not work correctly, if a search string starts with "not". Eg. searching for "note" brings results that more look to fit "not e"...

PS: I'm using YSP v2.3.1...

Many thanks,

Wolfgang

Hi Yakov,

just for info: I "fixed" the problem in YSP by adding the " " character after "not" in the following RegExp:

var reNot_Parenthesis = /\s*(\-|not )?(\s*\()?/gi;

Regards,

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, thanks for digging the issue. At the time you've posted the first message, I've quickly checked that it is related to parsing the NOT bits, but had little time for real debugging and testing (should've delegated to AI, though). Your fix is very close to what I'd consider a general fix, it's just better to require a "word boundary" instead of space after "not":

var reNot_Parenthesis = /\s*(\-|not\b)?(\s*\()?/gi;

Interestingly enough, it's not necessary to add the boundary before "not", "knot" and "knot of" are found correctly already.

I've added the fix to the new version of the plugin, currently only in the source file (demo page doesn't have the plugin synced with the source yet).

Hi Yakov,

good to hear from you and thanks,

Wolfgang

one more thing: Alt+'<' for "previous page" in search results does not work since an "accessKey" apparently needs to be accessed by Alt+Shift+... which is '>' in case of Alt+Shift+'<'...
