feature request: enable filtering based on element for recent search engines.

[rezad1393]

when I use great feature "Show recently used engines at the top of the menu" it shows all the search engines I have used recently. which is cool.

but even better would be if it was filtered based on elements.

for example I have search engines that are for image elements and only show on images but when I right click an image the recent searches are still shown that are not image only.

this a feature request and not a bug. so maybe low priority but still useful.

I think I have this fixed now locally. It should be in the next release.

@rezad1393: Does this affect version 1.47.15 or ulterior? And if so, is this report specifically about the Quick Menu?

it still the same for me and I don't see the issue fixed. I have the 1.47.15 version installed.

what is the "ulterior"?

Thank you @rezad1393. There is no released version ulterior to 1.47.15. I just wanted to check that your issue was still current.

Is this report specifically about the Quick Menu?

it is about right click menu on a web page (or selected text, or image). I don't know that quick menu is.

Thanks @rezad1393 ~~You must be referring to the Quick Menu, which is documented in the README.~~ Does enabling the "Filter search engines based on the target element ( link, image, selection, ... )" option (in the Advanced panel) not solve that?

You must be referring to the Quick Menu

no. I am referring to normal right click menu.

and I have enabled the filter.

Ah, sorry, I see you are indeed referring to the context sub-menu.

Regardless, I understand the problem now. The filtering added for issue #403 does not apply to recently used tools.

Since this is an ITS, please retitle this as an issue report. I would suggest:

Contextual menus: Recently used sites/tools cannot be filtered based on target type

No idea what ITS is.

but the title is correct in its current form. first because it is a feature request. second because recently used sites is in right click menu already.

@rezad1393: an ITS is an Issue Tracking System, like this one. Tickets in ITSs are issue reports. Technically, they are not requests, so determining the solution(s) is secondary.

This ticket’s title is incorrect because it is phrased as a request rather than as an issue report. But more importantly, it is unclear, since:

1. it fails to mention it is about contextual menus
2. uses the very vague (and arguably incorrect) term "element" (rather than "target")
3. and only refers to search engines.

I am unsure which term best generalizes "search engines", but unless you see something better, the following title would solve all of of that:

Contextual menus: Recently used menu elements (sites) cannot be filtered based on target type

I have no idea if you are a bot or just padding your resumes with "participation" is github.

the github system -as far as I know- doesn't have a separate feature request. many project use sub-type for request and issues but they are all tracked "here" in issues. you can see an example for mpv project attached https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/new/choose

if you have something about adding this feature, please carry on, if not then I am really here for github version grammar nazi.

@rezad1393: I don't know if you're here to genuinely contribute or chase Godwin points, and I wonder what you mean by "for github version grammar nazi". But you are right that GitHub does not track feature requests apart from bug reports (like most others development platforms).

I am not saying this ticket does not belong here. I merely explained it is not presented correctly. As always, reports should first focus on the problem. For example:

• 🚫Make the font red
• ☑Text lacks contrast

It is acceptable (and even best) to offer solutions, in the ticket's description.

In this case:

• 🚫feature request: enable filtering based on element for recent search engines.
• ☑Contextual menus include irrelevant recently used elements (sites) for certain target types
