[duplicate] Mint menu doesn't search more then one word

[johonunu]

When I type in filter field two words or more the menu recognize only first word. It does it to all : search portal and repos, show package and install package !
I fixed this using this Python code :

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os
import commands

search_txt = ""

#make search text with all arguments passed
for i in range(1,len(sys.argv)):
	search_txt += sys.argv[i]
	if(i!=len(sys.argv)-1):
		search_txt += "_"  #this is for merging words with a "_", you can change this depending on query string (Google would have "+" for example)

releaseID = commands.getoutput("cat /etc/linuxmint/version/mintinstall/release.id")
if os.path.exists("/usr/bin/gconftool-2"):
	browser = commands.getoutput("gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command")
else:
	browser = "firefox %s"
link = "http://www.linuxmint.com/software/?sec=search&search=" + search_txt + "&release=" + str.strip(releaseID)
browser = browser.replace("\"%s\"", link)
browser = browser.replace("%s", link) 
os.system("/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/launch_browser.sh \"" + browser + "\" &")

Hope this helps

I am sorry, I didn't check first, my fault It won't happen again !
Should I rename this topic or something ? Or it's even better to remove it !

don't worry about it for now, I've linked to this one as a confirmation of mine, so it'll be ok to just leave it here.
