I am using: "FriCAS 1.3.11 built with sbcl 2.5.0”
Searching for the name “MyQuadraticForm” in the “Constructor" section does work. However, searching for it in the “General” section does not work. Moreover, searching with the wildcard “MyQuadratic*” also does not work. If I use the trick: ')boot $createLocalLibDb := true' then suddenly the general tab, as well as the wildcard search work.
