Using space in search is not possible

Created by: philmmanjaro

A user reported an issue not able to search for google music. Space can't be used at all. Intended that way? @guinux

Note : The problem happens after writing a word, if you wait a second or two, then hit the space bar.

Pamac waits for 500 ms after you stop typing and then start to search. The reported issue occurs when typing a space and wait after the timeout to continue typing. So using space is of course possible if you wait less than 500 ms between a space and the next character.

@guinux Could it be possible to increase the time ? 500 ms is pretty short.

@philmmanjaro @1LinuxGuy what would be a good delay between stop typing and start searching in your opinion ?

Make it an option in settings and set the default to 1000ms. The user can then always change the default to its needs. Everybody types differently to be honest.

I increased the timeout to 1000 ms, let's see if it's enough.

Actually, I don't think timeout was the problem (0.5s was kinda good, for google instant-like purposes). I'm trying to look for git cola, and it doesn't show (even though it's there in yaourt)

I don't understand why do you have to alter the content of the text-box to search.
