Searching in Weblate

#1

I tried searching in Weblate.
I searched for the reference E6L2o.
In Pootle I got a match after about 10 seconds
In Weblate it took several minutes and it found no match.
I did the following in weblate:
In the main window I went to Tools > Find (don’t know the exact English words, because I see them in Dutch)
I fill in the searched item in the box Find.
I tick all the boxes.
I leave the rest unchanged.
I chose my language. (it will be useful if my language is default)

Kind regards, Kees

So I'm guessing you can file a bug against Weblate to add a feature to
search in context.
Good point!

Where can I file a bug for Weblate?
Is that also bugzilla?

But please check, if your wish is already covered by existing search-related reports: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+search

Why did you tick all the boxes when you know you search for a comment?

I leave the rest unchanged.
I chose my language. (it will be useful if my language is default)

It will stay at your preferred language in the search box, but yes I
agree that it takes some time. I'll see with Cloph and Guilhem is there
is something we can do to speed up the process.

There is already a search for context strings, or did you mean something
else?

I didn't know which one would do the trick

When you start searching you have to pick your lanquage first. It would be nice if your language is default there.
