If people want to add their own search engines, that's great. But I would hate to see the default engine become slower than it already is. For that matter, I'd like to turn off the key-by-key mechanism that makes usage on tablets so tedious.
The underlying "sort" comes from executable code built into javascript and so is not too slow. But other mechanisms (like Levenshtein) would have to be run in the javascript interpreter, meaning they would run very slowly as the size of the TW increased. What makes more sense to me is to use a keywords field with search add-on that checks that field as well. Sometimes the word you're searching for isn't in the text or title. Mat has presented a plugin like that somewhere in the forum. -- Mark On Thursday, November 9, 2017 at 8:40:16 AM UTC-8, Diego Mesa wrote: > > Cool plugin Rob! Thanks for this.
