I had this logged as a bug :wink:. Looks like our posts can be merged: Search results don't update when submitting the same search query consecutively

This may have been intended as a feature, but I’ve found it to be a bit frustrating when using the search panel for find/replace operations. I sometimes find myself searching for something, making an edit, and trying to “re-search” to have the instance filtered out.

Steps to reproduce

  • Have some file (foo.md) with the contents foo.
  • From the global search view, search for foo.
  • Change the contents of foo.md to bar.
  • Re-focus the search input (leaving the search for foo) and press Enter.

Expected result

  • No results found. (the previous match should now be filtered out given that the file has changed)

Actual result

  • Nothing happens and foo.md still appears in the search results.

We will have an overhaul of the search in an upcoming release. Let me know if you have this after we release it.

Just a heads up that I’m still seeing the same behavior in 0.8.0 (with the revamped search)

ok, we’ll think about it.

Merged and will be coming in 0.8.2.

For clearing results, there seem to be another feature request for it: Clear search results
