I am confused by search in project. First of all - there are two ways of search - small textbox above project tree, and "Find and replace" dialog. I'd like to ask/talk about both. I created a small example project (1.proj ) with number and two objects named in Latin and Cyrillic.
Small search box
when I search 1 - it shows me also rectangle. I assume it searches by ID because IDs are text1, rect1 and path2 respectively ( 2.search1 )
when I search for rectangle by name "square" typing part of name - I see expected result. So it means search by label also works. ( 3.searchSqu )
when I search for circle by name - I get no result. Does it mean that Inkscape does not support search by Cyrillic labels ? ( 4.searchКру )
Find and replace. I try to search "in properties" ticking one property checkbox at a time
Search by ID works as expected. No questions here
I do not see separate search by "Label", so I assume search by "Attribute value" is the same thing used by small search box, but here it gets weird. Searching 1 returns me all objects. (5.search1f-r) For what reason? Circle does not have any property with value 1. (6.circPropsf-r)
When I search for circle by "Attribute value" typing part of the name in Cyrillic it returns me expected result. (7.searchКруf-r) So Cyrillic is supported. Then why it does not work in small search box? Is that a bug?
All object attribute values can be seen in the XML editor, and many have numeric values that can include the number 1.
As for searching in the layers/objects dialog, I am not able to replicate the issue. Maybe click the erase/clear button at the end of the entry box to see if that helps.
If search by attributes goes through whole XML then it explains results. Thanks.
As for non Latin names - I tried other symbols: Greek, Japanese, Hebrew - result is the same. Non Latin can not be found with layers/objects dialog, but can be with find and replace. Wired thing 😕
