Pamac search suggestions

[Hebgbs]

I want to know what happened to Pamac’s search functionality at all.

It use to be, while Pamac wasa GTK2 app that search queries would show AUR in the “All” section. Now I have to select AUR specifically. What’s going on with that?

Also, a point of advice if I may — Synaptic has support for Xapian to index results and show what’s available. Maybe Pamac can use such a means to refresh results per-key as a user searches?

Could you not just do a simple forum search, instead of necroposting on a 2020 thread?

[Hebgbs]

You tell me that without linking to relevant threads that might answer my question.

How useful.

[omano]

It is irrelevant, to dig an unrelated years old thread, to ask a question answered already multiple time on the forum, that you could find if you took the time to search.

How useful is you thread digging to avoid looking up for the info available?

But as you seem to be needing others to do it for you, there you go… three keywords… Search results for 'pamac search aur order:latest' - Manjaro Linux Forum

Responsible use of AUR
…draw your own conclusions, but don’t miss the impudence in post 95 .

More specifically:

Responsible use of AUR

To reduce requests from Pamac we have now removed auto-suggestions within libpamac 11.1.1 and AUR searches from global-search in Pamac 10.2.2-5. Users have now to go to the AUR category to get their search result. No changes were made to the CLI application pamac as this acts similar as any other AUR helper also.

Strict Forum Rules and guidelines

Making it short top violations are trolling, starting a flame-war, harassment/provocations including posts/PM/Public social media, or not “Remembering the human” aka being hostile or incredibly impolite. All forum rules will be revised as they date back to 2014, any breakage of the rules here including escaping forum software censored words could result on being silenced/banned/unlisted/deleted/blocked or having a permanent low trust status without any notice. https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.ph…

Just another source: you can go through linked threads there starting from the searching "All" no longer searches all repos (#1168) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab and you will see the same requests and the current answer finally.
