[Bug 937046] Re: hud search algorithm gives crazy results

 

However, there is an issue if you try the following:
Bookmark "Total Body Workout 4" (url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6olejYe6bU )

Open the HUD with the ALT key and type "Tot"
  You can see the entry (provided you dont have so many other matches that it doesn't make the list)
Continue to type "Total"
  The entry disappears and there are no results. The HUD needs some attention.

I'm unable to reproduce this after a few attempts so I don't know what
kind of kooky caching or adaptive behaviour is going on but it's pretty
irritating that it's so unreliable.

Title:
  hud search algorithm gives crazy results

Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce, open gnome terminal, then open the hud with alt, and try
  these searches:

  "N"
  "Ne"
  "New"
  "New "
  "New P"
  "New Pr"
  "New Pro"
  "New Profil"
  "New Profile"
  "New Profile..."

  Note that the exact string of the menu item is "New Profile..."

  Of these searches, only "New", "New Pro", and "New Profile" give the
  expected result. Of the others, approximately half do not list the
  expected result at all. In particular, "New Profile..." (the exact
  string) gives an incorrect top result.

  I would expect all of these searches to give "New Profile..." as the
  top result.
