bookmark macro not woking as expected

[Ralf_Reddings]

I am trying to define three macros for three bookmarks:

• Macro is
  name^:
  , search term
  startwith:name:

• Macro is
  name$:
  , search term
  endwith:name:

• Macro is
  name$^:
  , search term
  exact:name:

In all of the bookmarks the only things that should is the search term, nothing else.

But searching

name$:book

returns items like

bookmarks

,

books

,

notebooks

etc. Same for the

name^:

macro. The

name$^:

does not work at all, no items are shown in results.

directly searching with

exact:name:book

,

endwith:name:book

,

startwith:name:

or executing the bookmarks from the bookmarks
menu works fine.

Just to be sure I tried "red" as a macro to see if the "$" or "^" were interfering. Nope, still not working.

PS: I know this is doable with

regex:

but I want to build these macros as my own personal syntax.

Here is how my set up looks:




I am on the latest 1.5 beta
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Without looking) did you try escaping the ^ or $ symbols?

So maybe name\^ or name&excl: or "name^" ... ?

You will need to add $param: to your searches.

Please try the following searches:

• Macro is
  name^:
  , search term
  startwith:name:$param:

• Macro is
  name$:
  , search term
  endwith:name:$param:

• Macro is
  name$^:
  , search term
  exact:name:$param:

Without $param: the parameter passed to a macro is treated as a separate search term.

That did it, I have no idea about "$param". Thank you.
