You can simply turn the "remember the last search term" option off in the preferences and have a blank search field every time you open the menu. Thus the next search term you type won't be appended to anything. |

well i dont want the search term not to be remembered, i would like the search term to be remembered and it to be highlighted/selected, so when if i do decide to type, it overwrites the selected search term rather than what i currently does of adding new letters to it. |

* Highlight previous search so typing overwrites it When set to remember the last search, on next opening the menu it would display the last search and put the cursor at the end of it. If you wanted to do a new search you would first have to delete your previous search. More convenient if you starting typing it overwrites the last search and only if you place the cursor with arrow keys or mouse it switches to insert / append text to the last search. There was existing code that did in fact do that but it was in the wrong place. This patch puts it in the right place. Fixes #86. * Remove code to set position at end Because it doesn't do anything when you select all the text.

When i used to use mint 13, when i would search for something in the menu and then launch the application, when i reopened the menu the search term would still be there and it would be highlighted, i would to suggest this behaviour return, as its annoying when i reopen the menu and the mouse cursor is at the end of the search term and then i start typing thinking that it would start a new search but instead its adding onto the already shown search term.
