Autocorrect common syntax mistakes (e.g. macro/modifier/function plurality)

[lifu]

Add an option to autocorrect common syntax mistakes, which will automatically correct syntax mistakes such as these...

(Note: If the autocorrect thing is too much of an ass-pain to implement, consider making these aliases.)

MODIFIERS

 diacritic:   →  diacritics: 

 endswith:    →  endwith:    

 files:       →  file:

 filelistfilenames:  →  filelistfilename: 

 fn:                 →  name:             

 pathparts:          →  pathpart:         

Perhaps there could also be a sub-option to change aliases to their non-aliased counterparts?

As an aside, little mistakes like these are a big reason I really want the option to not save any search that returns 0 results.

Good idea.
Some of these are already implemented, like file:/files: and folder:/folders:
For a complete list, see the Search Functions and Search Modifiers documentation.

Other than that, you can also define your own aliases, using the /define search command.

Example:
- Type or paste the following in the Everything search bar:

Code: Select all

/define pics=pic:

- Press ENTER
The statusbar will temporary show the effect of this command.

Now you can search for pics:


To remobve the pics: alias:

Code: Select all

/undef pics

(+ ENTER)
