Crash on search starting with "na..."

Nvultra version: Version 1.0.0 (62)

MacOS: 10.15.5

The app crashes when my search query starts with letters "na". 

Works perfectly (as expected) for search queries starting with other letter combinations (non-exhaustive list tried so far).

  It crashes for me using "op".

  I am on Mac OS 10.14.6 and also use the 62 beta.

  Based on the files in your folder, and your chosen sort (e.g modification date, alphabetical, etc.) what is the first file that would show up in the list?  Text file?  Not a text file?  Try using a folder that consists ONLY of text files and see if the same thing happens.

  Hello Fletcher,

   

  this was a most helpful comment! 

  I have cleaned out some "conflicted copies" (from earlier dropbox years)

  and now there is only .md and .txt and 

  one large "Notes & Settings" files classified as a "TextEdit.app" document.

  This seemed to have solved the problem - I can solve for "op" again - YAY!

   

  Thanks very much!

   

      Heinz.

  Heinz Bauschke -- glad that fixed it for you.  I suspect there may still be a bug in nvUltra, but it is no longer being triggered at least.

   

  If anyone else has this occur and can figure out whether it is a specific file that is triggering the problem, let me know!!

  Thanks for the suggestion Fletcher Penney

  I tried this.

  For notebooks/folders that only have .md and .txt files, nvultra did not crash for any of the search terms tried.

  Bhavik Nathwani -- so what is in the other folder that is *not* a `.md`/`.txt` file that starts with "na"?

  Good question. 

  The folder does contain several 'png' and 'jpg' files. However, the folder does not have any files, whose name starts with "na". 

  If I could type the full query word before the app crashes, "nautilus", I expected to get a single file in the results. This is because the word appears in the body of the text of a unique '.md' file (and is not a part of the title). I tried a different keyword search and I can get to the file in question as long as I don't use the specific keyword "na...".

  I figured out the cause of this and am working on a fix for a future update. 

   

  Thanks!
