improve searching

[NikoKrause]

Thanks. It works now. You should add this info to the README file.

[jaszhix]

The threshold could be tightened but it might cut off valid search results when you're looking up bookmarks.

[NikoKrause]

I just find it strange, that I get more results, when the search query gets longer.

[jaszhix]

Its using fuse.js fuzzy searching and the more characters you add, the more it can match partially.

[NikoKrause]

Ah. If you think it's okay, then I can close this issue.

I don't get how the booksmarks in the Cinnamenu work.
I don't see a category booksmarks.
Also I don't see recently used files in your menu. In other menus I see them.

[jaszhix]

Hm, that category box is a vscroll container, try scrolling down on it. But yeah, that's a UI issue.

[NikoKrause]

Ah. Okay. I see them, when scrolling. But you don't do that, if you don't know it. A scrollbar would make it visible.
My booksmarks category is empty.

[NikoKrause]

Also you could add a "Delete recent files" button.

[jaszhix]

Is that a common use case? I could see that being dangerous if you have a lot of recent files - this menu goes over 20 because its using different code than the standard menu. Which might also be affecting performance.

[jaszhix]

If you get any errors in ~/.xsession-errors or ~/.cinnamon/glass.log feel free to pastebin them. The empty bookmarks is odd, what browsers do you use?

[NikoKrause]

I mean the "Clear list" button like in the original menu.

[NikoKrause]

Firefox. Do I need to install something to work?
There are no errors.

[jaszhix]

For Firefox you need to install the gir1.2-gda-5.0 package because FF uses sqlite. Chrome/Chromium just store their data in JSON.

@NikoKrause Search is fine. Its slow however.
