Quick-filter for the result view #52

Lightning fast as the aard2 is, I prefer keeping ALL my slob files active all the time. This works perfectly well for complex words, but not that well for „simple“ search terms, where I get hundreds of hits.

It would be really handy to be able to filter the result view, i.e. long press on a result row will hide all results from this slob, but only for the current search. Entering a new search term would reset the filter.

Look at this example:

  • a wikipedia slob and several dictionary slobs have been installed
  • when looking up a simple word like e.g. „bread“, I might get lots of wikipedia hits and decide to get rid of all wikipedia results, just to have a smaller list, focussing on translations
  • Yes, I could open the dictionaries tab, look for the wikipedia entry there and disable it. But then I'll have to re-enable it for the next search :-(

results

P.S. Maybe an optional „match whole words only“ would help here, too… I tried adding a space after my search term, which did not change the result list.

I like the idea to make it easier to filter lookup results by dictionaries. Maybe long tap on a list item can highlight all results from corresponding dictionary and activate action bar with options to show results from this dictionary only or all dictionaries but this one. If done like this, perhaps color-coding results as described in #53 won't be necessary? I'll experiment with this when I have time.

Sounds great. This one would be the bigger improvement, the color-coding is just a nice-to-have :-)
