What is the purpose of the search default program?
ZaxonXP opened this issue · comments
In the default configuration there is program[search] defined like this:
program[search] = dmenu -l 10 -p Search $dmenu_bottom -i -fn $bar_font -nb $bar_color -nf $bar_font_color -sb $bar_color_selected -sf $bar_font_color_selected
bind[search] = MOD+s
What is the purpose of it? What it supposed to search and return?
When I try to search for something then nothing happen. Can someone please explain the purpose and how to use?
Documentation does tell a bit.
Kind regards,
Piotr
program[search] is used by the search_win and search_workspace actions. It is not meant to be bound.
It can be overridden to use a different command/options (e.g. rofi). Will add a note.
There was no binding defined in the default configuration, but I added it thinking it is needed for searching. Indeed adding some note for this in the man page would help to avoid confusion (or rename the search to search_engine).
