Search finds bold/underlined strings twice

Description

If you search (F7) in a manual page in mc's built-in viewer, matches whose first character is logically bold or underlined (physically yellow or red) are found twice. That is, pressing Shift+F7 or 'n' first doesn't do anything, only goes to the next match when pressed again.

The reason seems to be that when you search from the first byte of that special string (which is the letter or the underscore before the backspace) then it matches first. Later, when you search from the repeated letter after the backspace (that is, byte offset increased by two) then it matches again.

An idea for a solution which I'm not sure about: the first match can easily be skipped: if haystack's second character is a backspace, then just simply pretend it doesn't match. This way only the second match is reported. I can't see at the moment whether it would have any effect on highlighting (e.g. the first character of the match wouldn't be shown as bold/underlined). It would be cleaner to report the first match and skip the second, but I can't see how that could easily be done.

I also cannot see at the moment why backwards search finds everything only once, and not twice for bold text.

Branch need to complete work - not all funds correctly highlight.

BTW, #264 very coherent to this ticket...

it is much better for now, but ...
try to find 'ab' pattern in file from 264

comment:6 Changed 15 years ago by styx

and also try to use backward searching for 'ab' pattern
test file is also in: #264

comment:7 Changed 15 years ago by egmont

Please also see #266 for a long but hopefully useful rant about how hugely conceptually broken the current backwards search is (in 4.6.2 - not sure about dev).

Okay, I think branch 265_finds_bold_underline_in_view now reading for review.

Error from #264 fixed, twice-search behavior from this ticket fixed and no raise search result on any 'red text' by '_' search keyword.

Review please.

Review, please.

I think it's better to have duplicate matches in a rare use case rather than missing some matches in a more common use case.

You right, after resolve this issue #265 will be reopened.
