Pinyin search modifier

Post by void »

Everything 1.5.0.1320a adds support for an experimental pinyin: search modifier.

Only the first pinyin character of each Chinese character is required.

Please let me know if this modifier is useful.



For example:
pinyin:yq matches: 一切
(yi1 qie1 qie4)



To make a filter to always search as pinyin:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
  • Change the Name to: Pinyin
  • Change the Search to: pinyin:<#param:>
  • Click OK.
  • Activate the Pinyin filter from the Search menu.

Finally🎉!

Wait for this fantastic feature so looooooooooooong!

future enchancement could be heteronym support.

for example, 长:
"长 高" reads "zhang3" "gao1", here "长" means "grow up"
"长 短" reads "chang2" "duan3", here "长" means "long"

so, "zg" should match the first (but now it uses "cg"), while "cd" should match the second.

Search modifiers like pinyin: are put in front of the functions they work on.

Does pinyin:comment:"your text" give the expected results?

Hi, How to enable the modifier by default?

Looking forward to supporting full spelling(全拼-quanpin) in the future.
I mean pinyin:yiqie matches: 一切
(yi1 qie1 qie4)

Full spelling is more in line with Chinese typing habits.

Thanks.

I will add a pinyin QuanPin option.
This option will be enabled by default.

Thank you for the suggestion.

It worked, thank you very much, it's awesome.

I think QuanPin will be better adapted to multi-phonetic characters.

As in the example above,
pinyin:zhanggao matches: 长高
pinyin:changduan matches: 长短
