Search History import from 1.4 -> dedup issue

[whinette]

Hi,
I'm migrating over 1.5, mainly due to search reindex from network drive.

I'm missing entries when importing the search history, after a bit of looking up it seems that the import engine doesn't check case and overwrite previous entries it already has imported.

For example, let's say I have 4 searches, as bellow:

Search,Search Count
Abc,20
abc,2
Bcd,3
bcD,19

The import will parse the file and record two entries:

abc,2
bcD,19

Thank you for your post whinette,

Everything 1.4 search history is case sensitive.

Everything 1.5 search history is case insensitive.
The search text is updated with the case used in the last search.



Currently, Everything is not combining the counts for duplicated items when importing.
This is a bug.
I'll have this fixed in the next alpha update.

For now, the best option is to open your Search History.csv in Excel, sort by the Count column so the largest counts at towards the end of the file, then import your history into Everything 1.5.

Thank you.

Everything 1.5.0.1364a improves importing run history.

Counts are now combined for different cases when importing into Everything 1.5.



Edit: added clarification.

Case mismatch example:

Abc,20
abc,2
Bcd,3
bcD,19

Everything will now combine this as:

abc,22
bcD,22

(the last case is used and counts are combined)



Duplicated case example:

ABC,20
ABC,2
BCD,3
BCD,19

Everything will now combine this as:

ABC,2
BCD,19

(the same case is duplicated, only the last count is used)

Thanks again.
