• Search: Fix removed and is field selectors not returning correct results in some cases.

2024-05-15

• Search: Prefix selectors have been rebranded as field selectors. All selectors of the form field:value now concern only entity fields.
• Search: The syntax of result selectors now has the form /name:value to distinguish them from field selectors.
• Search: The syntax of list selectors has been revised. For example, instead of list:parameters, it is now just parameters: (that is, a field selector without a value).
  • The list: selector is now *:.
  • foo:* can be used to select all entities that have field foo.
• Search: Add N..M selector for numeric ranges. For example, members:50..100 selects classes with between 50 and 100 members.
• Search: Add ~text~ selector for explicitly specifying a fuzzy search.
• Search: Fix numeric values less than or equal to 0 failing to match (e.g. superclasses:0).
• Search: Fix empty strings failing to match (e.g. threadsafety:"").
• Search: Fix primary compound selector incorrectly selecting secondary entities.
