[Plugin] GUI Search

[tjb_altf4]

I noticed if you are navigating paths via unraid file manager plugin, then try to use GUI search it redirects to a malformed URL

 

Normal operation

 

 

When in file manager paths

 

 

or in some cases shows like this

Thanks.  Should be fixed

Yesterday's update changes things around a bit.

 

• The search bar is no longer present under black / white themes.  Instead a search icon is present at the top right.  Press it and the search bar appears
• CTRL K (or CMD-K for others) automatically opens the search bar and applies focus to it.
• After selecting the search from the autocomplete, the relevant text will be highlighted on the new page (works best on Chrome).  Due to various methods of building a page, this doesn't always work
• Minimum OS version is now 6.11.0  If you happen to be running a beta series of 6.12 then the plugin will not work on beta 1-5.  It requires beta 6+

Cool addition with ctrl/cmd + k. Found a small bug with it. Hit ctrl/cmd + k again and again and again…

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Don't do that.

Might turn off this addon power button to prevent future misclick accidents 😂

And i thought something is wrong with the PlugIn installation, since i searched for the option, to turn the static SearchBar back on, for half an hour,  and didn't find it.
I think it is a bad decision, since for usability search bars should be always directly visible and accessible, without looking for a little tiny extra button that adds an extra click. (You can compare it to the useless extra click in the Windows11 context menu to acces all options)

It would be really great, to at least get the option, turning the static SearchBar in Black/White Designs back on.

I agree. I much preferred having it always visible.

Minor issue I just found.  I noticed if you are on release that is not supported by the newest iteration of the plugin (e.g., 6.10.3), it will cause the update all plugin button to never exit... just seems like download or install process has hung.

Of course closing the popup and refreshing showed all was well, although I possibly got lucky alphabetically that GUI Search was the last update.

 

Not sure if an Unraid OS problem, or a problem with the way the plugin exits, but thought I'd raise it here anyway.

Today's release adds in the translations for all of the search terms.

 

When the GUI is running in a non English language, the autocomplete works against either English or the language you're in.

I just saw this on the featured apps.  This would have been an incredible tool when I was a new unraider.

 

Great tool, thanks for creating!

I don't see the search box anywhere:

[Squid]

Click the Search Icon top right. (Or CMD-K / CTRL-K)

[sunwind]

Thanks it shows up with ctrl+k, no way to keep it up there, like here?

The webgui needs to work on a variety of screen sizes and the search bar takes up a significant amount of space. There are no additional mouse clicks with this method, you click once on the icon and then start typing. Or you can keep your hands off the mouse entirely and press CMD/CTRL-K. I don't see this changing back.

Honestly the whole webui needs a re-work imo, the fact that plugins like this exist is evidence of that. Do we know if anyone is working on that? I do some UX design and would really like to help.

quick question - how stable is this plugin?

Considering that it is integrated into 6.13.x, I'd say that its very stable.

This may only be a me issue; after updating to Unraid 6.12.10 this plugin has seemingly disappeared from my system and the App Store. If anybody has any insight on this please let me know. I don't remember anything in the changeling and it missing from the App Store has me quite perplexed.

Because I never expected for the OS to reach 6.12.10 so it was marked as the maximum version allowed of 6.12.9

 

Fixed.  Should reappear in Apps shortly

Hi, just a minor issue. Using the Azure theme, the box behave as per attachment. Is there a way to move it or minimise it? Thanks
