GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 697953
SearchProvider sometimes shows only first result
Last modified: 2015-02-27 19:10:57 UTC
Hello, I am running into a strange issue with SearchProvider in GNOME Shell 3.8. If I run this.searchSystem.pushResults(this, []) and then this.searchSystem.pushResults(this, ['a','b']) sometimes both "a" and "b" are shown and sometimes only "a". I have created a simple extension to demonstrate this issue (attached!). Load the extension and type "xxx" in the overview to see if you can reproduce. Thanks, Lukas

Is this still a problem with gnome-shell 3.14?

Hi Bastien. I'd recommend trying it. I don't use gnome shell anymore so it'd be rather annoying for me to verify. But if you read my first comment, reproducing the issue should't be that hard for a gnome dev ... defo better approach than just closing an issue because "it *might* have gone away by now".
(In reply to Lukas Vacek from comment #5) > But if you read my first comment, reproducing the issue should't be that hard Except that the search system has been rewritten completely in the meantime, so none of the API mentioned in that comment still exists. It is also now very much discouraged to implement a custom SearchProvider in an extension - search integration should be provided by applications by implementing a DBus interface. There are some issues with particular apps (e.g. clocks), but I'm not aware of any major problems with the remote search implementation on the shell side.
