[BUG] Filter for filetype (image, video, etc.) displays empty results
Describe the bug I have been using fsearch for a couple of years and it always worked great. Recently my installation started to fail to filter results. When choosing a filter the results list stays empty. Only the filters "All" and "Folders" work as expected. I did not change anything in the config.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Search for something
- Filter for a specific filetype
Expected behavior See the filtered filetype results
Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Desktop (please complete the following information): Arch / AUR / fsearch
Did another test. I deleted the fsearch database folders in /home/user/.config/fsearch/database and reindexed the database. Sadly still giving me the same result. Filtering for "All" and "Folders" works, filtering for specific Filetypes gives an empty search result.
Hi, can you paste the content of your config file? (~/.config/fsearch/fsearch.conf)
You can omit the database section if you don't want to expose the folders you've indexed.
Sure:

Okay that explains the issue. You've likely been using the development version of FSearch at some point, because your config is still using an outdated query format which was used during the development of the query language. You can fix this easily by replacing the [Filters] sections with the following (while FSearch isn't runnig):
