ProtonSearch 1.1.0

ProtonSearch 1.1.0

ProtonSearch, formerly OmniSearch, is now the project name across the app, repository, installer, settings, and install flow. Existing OmniSearch users can upgrade directly; local data is migrated automatically on first launch.

What's New

• Renamed to ProtonSearch: The app has been rebranded from OmniSearch to ProtonSearch while preserving existing settings, search indexes, clipboard history, snippets, agents, and AI configuration.
• Circle to Search: Click the Lens button and select part of your screen to search it visually with Google Lens.
• Web Search action: Search the web directly from the launcher when local results are not enough.
• Clipboard Image OCR: Copied screenshots and clipboard images can now be saved, OCR-indexed, and searched.
• Improved OCR Search: OCR matches are easier to find, ranked more reliably, and included in the right filters.
• Text Expansions: Create reusable snippets and trigger them from the launcher with custom keywords.
• Plugins Page: New settings page for enabling or disabling launcher features like Circle to Search, Calculator, Git Commits, Color Picker, and more.
• Git Commits Toggle: Git commit search can now be turned on or off from settings.
• Ignore Folder Names: Add folder names like node_modules, .angular, or target once and ProtonSearch will ignore matching folders everywhere.
• Agent Improvements: Hermes agent support is better integrated with local commands, approvals, PC-control workflows, and persistent memory.
• Updated Branding and Website Flow: Installer, README, website commands, and app assets now point at the ProtonSearch main branch.

Installer Update

• ProtonSearch setup now removes the legacy OmniSearch app install during upgrade so it does not leave a duplicate OmniSearch copy behind.
• The old OmniSearch Start Menu shortcut, Desktop shortcut, and uninstall entry are cleaned up during install.
• Existing OmniSearch user data is preserved so ProtonSearch can still migrate settings, indexes, clipboard history, snippets, agents, and AI configuration.

UI Improvements

• Cleaner launcher action buttons for Lens and Search Web.
• Larger Lens icon with tighter alignment.
• Reduced extra padding in the Search Web button.
• Improved settings layout and plugin controls.
• Updated ProtonSearch logos, banners, and release assets.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed random launcher icon disappearance caused by unbounded icon and thumbnail caches.
• Fixed exact filename searches being hidden by hardcoded folder penalties.
• Fixed OCR results not appearing reliably for partial text matches.
• Fixed duplicate clipboard image OCR results.
• Fixed settings reload behavior so plugin changes apply without restarting.
• Fixed several UI alignment issues in the launcher and settings app.
• Fixed multiple threading, reentrancy, and mutex-related stability issues.
• Fixed tray/settings/app shutdown and rebuild locking issues across recent builds.
• Fixed stale install commands so curl installs from the main branch.
