Check Word Meaning returning blank resultes. Running on Linux Mint 20 Mate 64.

I am unable to get the dictionary to function at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The function runs the script located at data/scripts/com.github.babluboy.bookworm.dictionary.sh. Try to run it manually.

I was able to patch the problem temporarily for now This is my current com.github.babluboy.bookworm.dictionary.sh:

search_word=$1
#check if the input still has spaces i.e. multiple words
case "$search_word" in  
     *\ * )
           #space found in input - send output warning and quit
           echo "Multiple words are not supported, please search for a single word"
           exit
          ;;
       *)
           #do nothing - the input has no spaces
           ;;
esac
