Your Expectation

Search bar work propely and show what i search for

The Reality

It shows related to the search items, but the search string is now very weirdly acting with what is being shown

Here i wrote "stone" three times, thats what items it shows me

"BF BF EB BF EB" shows, well, ebf.
I suppose it thinks of a spacebar as another string and not continuation of the initial search

Your Proposal

fix? idk if its intentional, but i doubt that

Final Checklist

• I have searched this issue tracker and there is nothing similar already. Posting on a closed issue saying the bug still exists will prompt us to investigate and reopen it once we confirm your report.
• I can reproduce this problem consistently by follow the exact steps I described above, or this does not need reproducing, e.g. recipe loophole.
• I have asked other people and they confirm they also have this problem by follow the exact steps I described above, or this does not need reproducing, e.g. recipe loophole.

Update: its not ae2, its NEI

[slprime]

NEI in latest version splits the search string into tokens by spaces. This makes it possible to write search query queries using multiple tokens such as -@#$&

To prevent this, you need to wrap the string in quotes.

quite annoying tbh, if i want to search for creeper head i should only see creeper heads not whatever matching creeper and head.

[slprime]

before it find items what have creeper head, now it find items what have creeper and head

[boubou19]

We should put this behind a config, or i can guarantee you that we will get many reports of this as a bug. Like an "advanced search mode" option in NEI config gui.

[Glease]

just for a bit of clarity, is it search terms connected with OR or AND?

[chochem]

a space is now a AND

yea there is nothing else.

before space use as space now as AND

[boubou19]

nothing wrong in this image:

but as soon as i add a w in the search:

Nothing changes because the wafer is correct and the boule despite not being correct, is still displayed, because in the tooltip it matches the w of the "raw ore"

That's not what i expect it to search.

Yeah, that needs a fix

[CatsLeftEar]

plunger as an item pipe because in the flavor text is says "clears items from pipes" (which technically isnt even true"

heads, Large HP steam turbine, alchemical furnace, emerald chipset, Neutron sensor and, of course, Needs maintenance cover, when i search for Stone

[boubou19]

We don't need a fix, we need a button to swap between AND and "space" treatment of the space in NEI

[slprime]

I will add a setting that should change this behavior.

[boubou19]

typically something here:

[CatsLeftEar]

I will add a setting that should change this behavior.

maybe a button that would remove search by flavor text in description, because most of the multiblock controllers have "redstone" in their description, as well as most of the covers, a lot of buildcraft items like chipsets etc. Even without spacebars, all that stuff is shown when you search for both "redstone" and "stone", as well as "red"
tbh, should it even consider flavor text (the only example of why it needs that is to search by "cover" to see gt blocks with covers on them (its shown in flavor text of a block)) or programming info as matching strings for when you search for an item in NEI/AE?

[slprime]

change this to Prefix

[boubou19]

yeah but that's a ductape fix for the meantime, as i am used to do tooltip search. I'd be more than happy to just change the space treatment in the searchbar

[chochem]

a config is fine but please dont change it. space as AND has been a huge improvement compared to the old where you needed to use wildcard and still got screwed by incorrect order.

[slprime]

I don't know English, so I wanted you to help me with the name of the settings.

I added settings with 3 states:

1. space works like - like it wotks before NEI search refactoring
2. space works like AND - like now
3. space works like AND, but tokens must be in one search type (name, tooltip, etc.)

For now I've called it this:

nei.options.inventory.search.spaceMode=Space Works as
nei.options.inventory.search.spaceMode.0=AND
nei.options.inventory.search.spaceMode.1=Space
nei.options.inventory.search.spaceMode.2=Extended

Example:

AND (search tokens in tooltip or title)

Space (search exact match. in example found in tooltip)

Extended (search for tokens in one type. In the example, 2 tokens were in the tooltip)
