QuickMove/QuickJump with Numbers

[stw203]

I'm using QuickFolders Version 5.11. When I attempt to use QuickMove or QuickJump entering only numbers that are not at the beginning of a folder's name, no results appear. I have attached a file with an example QuickFoldersNumberSearchIssue-20220731.odt .

This is surely completely unrelated, but just in case... I am using QF 5.9pre33 with TB 78.7.1 -- I have always experienced a significantly longer delay in getting the results list when using numbers in the QF search when the digits in the numbers are parts of many mailbox names.

That is probably completely unrelated to the OP's "numbers first" issue, unless the OP usually uses numbers first in many/most of the OP's mail box names and there are certain numbers that are in many/most of the OP's mailbox names. For example, if the OP had mailboxes names "10000..." through "19999...", that would be at least 10,000 mail boxes (assuming that there are other mailboxes as well that include the digit "1") that all qualify for that first-typed digit "1".

In my case, I DO have mailboxes "10000" through "19999" (and 1000-9999, as well as 20000-23000)... but in MY case, my mailbox names start with alpha characters, followed by the number. Such as: "bloe_joe_12345".

I have learned that if I want a quick response, I have to do my search for "bloe" instead of "12345".

[I know I am using old versions of TB and QF thus I am NOT making a report of a problem.]

I am afraid that's by design, to avoid too many hits the quickMove algorithm looks only at word boundaries and their beginnings when 2 or less characters are entered - it currently doesn't match "text within a word". Valid word boundaries are - _ @ + & . and space. See the function addMatchingFolder(). So it would work if your folder was named "Mantic 59" or "Mantic_59".

Addendum - I added an edit in my previous comment, the word boundaries are used when 2 or less characters are entered, if you enter 3 characters then quickMove will match text within a word as well. However if you use parent folder delimiters / or > then all characters must be at the start of a word boundary.
