Code tip: you could also write '\_ -> []', or just 'const []'.
Yes, my Haskell leaves a lot to be desired. :) I went with const []. Thanks.
If you look in Search, you'll see:
{- | Like 'search', but for use with the output from a Prompt; it grabs the Prompt's result, passes it to a given searchEngine and opens it in a given browser. -} promptSearchBrowser ∷ XPConfig → Browser → SearchEngine → X () promptSearchBrowser config browser (SearchEngine name site) = mkXPrompt (Search name) config historyCompletion $ search browser site
That is, 'config' is not asked for the history completion function nor is any filter ran upon it; rather, it uses the canned historyCompletion function from XMonad.Prompt.
Ahh. I did browse this file but missed the finer details of that function.
It's possible to grab the historyFilter from the XPConfig that promptSearchBrowser has access to; if you could test out my attached patch?
Applied. This seems to be working perfectly. When the above historyFilter is used, the history file is still created but contains an empty list. Perfect. Your assistance is much appreciated. Once again the xmonad mailing list comes through for me. Many thanks, Mike
