docs.rs sometimes don't allow you to go to the top of the page

I am using Firefox 90.0.2 64bit on win10. I was on https://docs.rs/object/0.26.0/object/ and couldn't go to the top of the page, it just scrolls down again. After uninstalling the extension (or going private mode) it fixes itself.

In Chrome, search begins but goes back to default Google search when a key is pressed

  • I type rs and space/tab into the address bar.
  • "Rust Search Extension | " appears.
  • I start typing, but it immediately goes back to the default Google search.

It was working fine the last time I used it ~2 weeks ago. I've tried restarting Chrome, disabling and reenabling the extension.

Bug: Extension opens /update page every browser launch

Every time I open chrome, the rust -search-extension is opening the https://rust.extension.sh/update page in a tab, regardless of any tabs(including itself) that were open on last chrome launch.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install chrome
  2. Install rust-search extension
  3. Toggle Auto-update to On
  4. Close all browser windows
  5. Re-open Chrome
  6. See a https://rust.extension.sh/update tab
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 to witness issue persist

Don't require people to explicitly add crates for their docs.rs page to be accessible

It'd be nice if you didn't need to explicitly click the "⊕ to Rust Search Extension" button on a crate's docs.rs page in order to search for items inside it.

Expected Behaviour

If you enter rs @itertools::XXX it would first try to find the corresponding page if already added and indexed, falling back to opening the search page (https://docs.rs/itertools/?search=XXX).

Actual Behaviour

Typing rs @itertools::Itertools and hitting <enter> just clears the search box and does nothing.

Typing rs !itertools::Itertools will navigate to https://docs.rs/releases/search?query=itertools%3A%3AItertools, i.e. it tries to find the itertools::Itertools crate in docs.rs.

Offline mode no longer works in Chrome 118.0.5993.70

Env

  • Chrome: Version 118.0.5993.70 (Official Build) unknown (64-bit)

  • Rust Search Extension: 1.12.0

  • Host: Fedora 38 Workstation/GNOME 44.5

  • Rust:

    $ rustup -V
rustup 1.26.0 (5af9b9484 2023-04-05)
info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler.
info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.73.0 (cc66ad468 2023-10-03)`

Erroneous Behavior

Choose the entry I want to check, press enter, nothing happens

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable the offline mode with the following path

    file:///home/steve/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/doc/rust/html/

    the path should be right:

    $ rustup doc --std --path
/home/steve/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/doc/rust/html/std/index.html

  2. Open a new tab

  3. input rs, the a space

  4. input Vec, choose std::vec::Vec, press the enter button

Workaround I have tried

  1. Restart chrome
  2. Reinstall the extension

Fuzzy Search std result intereferes

I typically use use the extension to jump directly to docs of a crate.

rs tantivy jumps to tantivy docs, but rs ahash jumps to https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/hash/index.html There's no ahash on that webpage, so it seems that is a fuzzy search result.

Maybe related to https://github.com/huhu/rust-search-extension/issues/146

The name violates the Rust Foundation's trademark policy

I'm not affiliated with the Rust Foundation, just wanted to give you a heads-up that your usage of the "Rust" word trademark may be considered infringing. Including the word "unofficial" in the description would help, though it might be best to contact the Rust Foundation directly to ask them if the name is ok.

Extension suddenly broke in Firefox

I'm using Firefox 108.0.1 and the most recent version of the add-on, which is 1.9.1. The experience in Firefox with the add-on has always inferior to the experience in Chrome for me (search results sometimes not showing up properly, pressing Enter on a search result sometimes just leads you to a different page?, etc.), but generally it's been working fine. Since today it's not showing me any search results anymore though. When I type in the rs prefix, it's still showing me the rust search extension suggestion, but it doesn't seem to actually find the proper link:

Even actions that don't require any actual querying don't work:

(When I press enter on the highlighted suggestion, nothing happens)

I haven't changed any configuration/settings, and I don't think my Firefox had any updates. The search extension is also still working just fine in Chrome.

(Sidenote, but is it possible to set up the search extension as a Firefox search engine somehow, so that you can just press Tab after typing the rs prefix and then only get rust search results? It's doing that by default in Chrome for me, but not in Firefox)
