Bug ID: 432533 Summary: Fuzzy / "nearby" search in files Product: kate Version: 19.12.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: search Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org Target Milestone: --- I manage a large collection of notes in form of text files in a git repository. >From time to time, when I would like to find something, I remember two keywords which are not exactly next to each other; and also the order of the words is unknown. For this use case a "nearby" or "near each other" search (which also should work over more than one line) would be very helpful. This is a possible regex (but it only works for a single line): (word1.{1,150}word2)|(word2.{1,150}word1) This works on the command line: rg -i --multiline --multiline-dotall 'word1.{1,150}word2|word2.{1,150}word1' Additionally, I tried to configure this as External Tool, but got this output Running external tool: Find nearby - Executable:rg - Arguments : -i --multiline --multiline-dotall 'word1.{1,150}word2|word2.{1,150}word1' - Input : Finished with exit code: 1 (Plus, I see no way to pass the words I am searching for to the External Tool) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
