Hi all, I’m building a text-heavy application that requires a good text search capability. I’ve been using Scott McDonald’s RRPsearch plugin for awhile now with good results. However: 1. It doesn’t seem to handle text that has extended characters next to words—like long dashes, curly quotes, e

Thanks for the review. I'm pretty happy with Cinnamon on Mint, but I'll throw this into a VM and give it a try. If you don't want a Ubuntu base, you might want to try MATE on Mint Debian. It's a bit more bleeding edge, but better compatibility and faster rolling releases because of that. Don't kno
