GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 607907
Search should not start over while typing
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:45:23 UTC
Hi, I propose that Evince's search not restart in some cases. Here is an example: In a long document, I type part of a word, Evince is searching and has found no results so far, I then add on to that word. Evince currently restarts its search. But there is no need to-- if it hasn't found the shortened version, it won't find the longer one. It should continue uninterrupted. More complicated implementation would save time even if the search had yielded results at the time. The code would just check the previous matches to see if they still match instead of restarting the search. Thank you for the great work, Scott
I agree this would be nice to have... but not a bug, only enhacenment
True. Thank you for changing it.
