Longer search history

[Vidar Gundersen]

Wanted: An option to store a really long history of search callbacks, increase from the current 10-ish to 100 or 1000. There is a lot of value to former and clever searches, just like the .bash_history on a shell command line.

[stoecker]

Increase the value of "search.history-size" in advanced settings.

Do you have to create this key ? Did not find it.

[stoecker]

You need to use a function once to have the keys. In this case call a new search once.

Not for search.history-size, it was in the list with r3071 and a new config-dir.

If you have an older configuration you need to add the key manually.

[stoecker]

This is independent from revision. Configuration keys are only in the list, when they are used at least once (or when they have non-default values). So after you searched something one time, the key is in the list, otherwise it is not. JOSM does not store or remember unmodified config entries, so after a restart the key is gone until you use the relevant function again.
