----------------------------------------
Summary: Go To File should not search again after typing or
removing character
Key: NETBEANS-2155
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2155
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: utilities - Jump To
Affects Versions: 9.0, 8.2, Next, 10.0
Environment: Windows 10 64bit, NetBeans 10, JDK 10.0.2
Reporter: Christian Lenz
I don't know how often I created tickets for this type of problem and discussed
about what is the current status and what am I expected.
Everytime, when I use "Go To File" and I search for "pack" I wait for
searching... ends and see the result list. When I type "packa", so only adding
the character "a" it will start the search again. The same happens, when I
remove one character after the other. Everytime the search results got updated
and this is annoying, not needed and I don't know whether it will search the
indices again and again or not.
Other IDEs don't have this problem, IDEA not, Eclipse not and VS Code not. I
added 17 big projecta/folders to VS Code. First it opens the projects
immediately in maybe 2-3s seconds and I can use them immediately, but this is
another thing. The indexing seems fast, because when I search for "pack" again,
I see the results there and when I add "a" or remove characters or search for
"package-lock.json" it will not update the list, it is still there, only
shrinking the index and not searching again and update the result list.
I added some external tickets here and 2 screen casts. 1 NetBeans and 1 from VS
Code.
I'm using Windows 10 (64bit), NetBeans 10 (Doesn't really matter, because it is
still a problem from 8.2 or earlier on). And I can guess it will be still a
problem in NetBeans 11. And should be independent from JDK but I'm using NB 10
with JDK 10.0.2.
There are discussion where [~wadechandler] said, yes the indexing is a
performance issue in some cases. But can't really remember, we talked in
private about that.
So the list not needs to clear the result list and search again that seems for
me, that the searching makes it slow. I know it can be a bit slow for big
projects (Actually I have ~22 small-big projects in NetBeans). So yes the
initial search can take a while, maybe only 2s or smth like that, but after the
result list is there that must be a thing from ms on.
So the external ticket is still the problem. I don't care whether it was
intended as it is now, this is why I create it as an improvement, that this
needs to be better and compareble to other IDEs. Others can do the same so why
NetBeans not.
