Hello,
An experimental search feature has been added to the following:
1. Hotlist viewer (bookmarks)
2. Global history viewer
3. Cookie manager window
To use it, click in the area next to the search icon at the top
of the window, and start typing.
It has currently only been tried under the GTK front end.
It would be helpful if people could put it thoroughly through its
paces. Any feedback gratefully received.
Cheers,

I've very briefly tried it in RISC OS, #4200, and it works well. Many
thanks for the improvement.
Best wishes,
Peter.

A feature I have sometimes wished was present - it works fine (ARMX6 5.23).
Thanks.

Seems to work - thanks.
The size of the work area gets a bit confused if you toggle the 'expand
entries' icon with a search active (seems to reset to what it would be if
the whole window were being displayed, rather than just the visible
entries). It corrects itself if you then carry out a fresh search.

Good spot, that should be fixed in the latest build.

I've finally had a chance to test it out here (Amiga frontend). It is
working well, except for a couple of minor issues;
1. When there are a lot of search results, the treeview is scrolling
to the end of the list. This is confusing because it means the search
string is no longer in view. I think it should be remaining at the
top.
If you have enough entries to fill up the window you can test this out
easily by typing a single common letter into the search field.
2. If the window is closed with a search in progress, when the window
is re-opened the search string does not display but the results are
still present. I think this is due to how I implemented the windows
as they are disposed of completely and re-created on the Amiga
frontend, whereas on others the state is remembered and re-used.
I guess the treeview cleanup code is clearing the search string but
not the underlying results? Or forgetting the search string? I'm not
sure what the correct thing for it to do is, but the state of the
treeview (which folders are open/closed) is normally remembered, so it
should probably be remembering the search string.

By the way, 'Global history' doesn't appear to include the list given
by the main window's drop-down 'URL suggestion icon'. That list is
stored in file Choices.WWW.NetSurf.URL. I'm unclear which URLs are
placed there, but I do see that it is unaffected by deleting the
items from Global history.
Yet it is a history of sorts which has to be manually deleted should
one wish to clear all actual history.
Any thoughts?

That's something separate from the core global history that is
managed by the RISC OS front end. It stores the URLs that are
typed manually into the URL bar, I think.
