xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin search command character limit

Hi,

just recently I noticed limitation for search commands. For excample "!s 123456789012" works as expected, yet "!s 1234567890123" does not offer the corresponding seach (in this case a web search). It is just one more character that disables the search command.

The command pattern is "!s" (no regex) and it resolves to "exo-open --launch WebBrowser https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s". I already tried with "%u" instead of "%s", no luck.

I searched this forum for this behavior and the buglist on the official whiskermenu web page (https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?p … t=advanced). I noted, that the package was recently updated to version 1.5.1-2 (Dec. 10). That might fit width the first occurance of this behavior.

Before I file a bug, I would like to know wether I am the only one with this problem. Maybe it is intentional and I just didn't get it. Or maybe I have missed something.

thx in advance

I've noticed the same problem after the most latest update, it will on only take a String of 13 characters before it just goes to a blank search query.
