Smart boolean query parsing - quicksearch()

Post by highend »

Ok, it was hardcoded to on and was kept on on for upgraders. If this is ticked off in a new installation, quicksearch()
will fail (it doesn't find the necessary stuff) if you have a search term with ";" or "|" in it. Like "*.mkv;*.mp4". I for myself want it to be off
but want to keep these logical "or"s in existing scripts so I'd like to request a new flag for this command so that we can use it independently
from the gui setting and it would be nice if the default value for that flag is ON
One of my scripts helped you out? Please donate via Paypal

I agree. Actually I think ";" and " | " for OR are totally standard and expected. " | " isn't even ambiguous, and folks who use ";" in filenames are used to trouble. :)

So I will just allow those two operators.
