Search does not appear to work consistently

[Econdoc]

The ability to search for text within flows is a wonderful feature...when it works! Here is what often happens.

Lets say I search for the string [global_wifi="myssid"]. Search finds this string is in only one flow. When I open the flow to find the action where my search string was found, nothing is highlighted. The search function reports that the string was found, but does not flag it inside the flow. This problem seems to be intermittent, (Or I am doing something wrong?)

Any workarounds, please?

I think there was one issue fixed in this area for the next update which should become available tomorrow.
Let me know if you still encounter the issue with the new version. An example flow to reproduce the issue would be helpful.

Regards,
Martin

How big is your flow? I ever have something like that too. But that is because it is my test flow, the elements are scattered all around and quite messy.

When I search, it shows only the test flow. Then when enter the flow, nothing highlighted. but if I drag around, i can see the highlighted element is alone at the far side of the flow. I have to zoom out to check it easier, drag it back to center. So maybe you face the same problem. Try to reset zoom, zoom out and pan around to check it.

Martin: A am attaching a flow named Car Profile. Try searching for [="Car"] (without the brackets) There should be two hits on this string, although one belongs to an orphaned condition. Neither shows up.

P.S. Is there and easier way of sending a flow to you than attaching the XML here?


Desmanto: Resetting Zoom does not work. Still cannot see TWO occurrences of my search string.

So searching for ="Car" won't get the element highlighted. But searching for ="car" (small case c) highlighted it. It is a minor bug.
I always use small case (just type it directly), so I don't know there is a minor bug.

To upload the flow, just go to automagic > Forum > Publish Flows/Widgets and choose the one you wanna upload. After the prompt, the link to the flow will be copied to your clipboard and can be paste here. The downside is, the uploaded flow using this way, will always have the name flow.xml. While if you attach in the post, the flow can be other name, just like your attachment above.

There was an error with upper/lower case which should be fixed in the next update. At least it finds both occurrences in the flow you've posted.

Is that the "tomorrow" update or one farther in the future?

It's the update today if nothing goes wrong

Let me know in case it's still not working after the update.

There is update stable version 1.34.0 at the playstore already. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... dautomagic

It has been fixed. Try to search with ="Car" and ="car" now highlighted the elements.

Thanks, Martin. The new update fixed this issue. I noticed in the update that there are new actions and new features. Where can I find a list of these? (The list disappears when you close the window.) Where can I get an explanation of some of these new features? For example, one new feature was a way to document a flow. Also a way to describe a flow. Very desirable things, but I have not been able to find out how to find out where and how!

Thanks again for all your hard work.
