Hello,

On my SBBS, the Find Message and Find Message All function (F & /F in Default.src) perform the same actions. They both only search the local sub board and neither prompt the user if they want to search the Sub Board, the Group, or All.

I checked my default.src, and F is msg_find_text and /F is msg_find_text_all.

I logged into a few other SBBS boards and they had the same problem. Except for Vert. It works properly at Vert.

I'm running the latest code on gitlab and I've tried recompiling the Baja .src.

I logged onto another SBBS (nix.synchro.net) and it appears to work as expected:
þ Main þ 1:59:43 [1] Main [1] Notices: F

Find Text in Messages

Sub-board: Notices, Group: Main, or All:
þ Main þ 1:59:41 [1] Main [1] Notices: /F

[û] Display Subjects Only? No

What do you have set in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Scan Subs? If you have a module configured there, its possible that module is not detecting the difference between "scan current sub" (argv[0]==0) and "Scan all subs" (argv[0]==1).

Shoot. I'm using DDScanSubs.js. Part of DDMessageReader.

I'm looking at the JS now and it appears to have support for the argv[0]=="1" but maybe its broken....

I had a conversation with Nightfox about this but I don't think he knows how
to fix it, or even if the ability exists. I was going to look into it and totally forgot. Maybe hw should revisit it.

It does have support for the different pareameters for argv[0]:

var scanAllSubs = (argv[0] == "1");

Hi Nightfox,

I'm not sure why it's not working. In SCFG -> Loadable Modules -> Scan Subs... Where I put DDScanSubs.js, do I need to add any variables which will cause SBBS to pass the 0 or 1?

My DDScanSubs.js is v 1.6 2020/05/23

No, the 0/1 is automatically added to the arguments passed to the module.

Nightfox,

I visited your board to see if Find Message Scan -- All Subs worked, but I wasn't able to trigger it. F scans just one sub, and /F isn't available.

As far as I know, you shouldn't have to. My understanding is that Synchronet knows what kind of scan you're doing and should pass the appropriate parameter to the script.

F on my BBS is simply a find text, which I don't think is equivalent to Synchronet's sub scanning. S on my BBS triggers Synchronet's new-to-you scan, and N on my BBS triggers Synchronet's newscan. I have a custom command shell, so I'll probably have to try Synchronet's stock shell (and possibly Synchronet's stock reader) and see how it behaves.

Okay. Just to be clear the problem I'm highlighting is the Find Text scan. In the default Synchronet shell it's F for Find Current Sub, and /F for Find All Subs. Regardless of which one is used, and called, with DD it only searches the current sub. At least, in my experience.
