F6 Search feature does not work anymore?

[PeterPanettone 152]

It seems that the F6 Search feature in the Delphi RIO 10.3.3 IDE does not work anymore:

 

 

Is this a known bug?

 

It seems that this is the only item I can get when I type a single character:

Perhaps the same as happened to me a while ago? When IDE Insight suddenly stops working…

It seems that the "wuppdi Welcome Page" is the culprit. When I deactivate the wuppdi Welcome Page:

 

 

...then the F6 Search feature works again!!

BUT: Even when I reactivate the "wuppdi Welcome Page" then the F6 Search feature still works!

 

Maybe the deactivation/activation of the "wuppdi Welcome Page" simply resets the IDE Insight toolbar as Uwe Raabe has said above?

 

But then the question is: What deactivates the IDE Insight in the first place??

 

And: Why is the "wuppdi Welcome Page" the only IDE Insight search result available when IDE Insight stops working?

 

I have restarted the IDE for a test (while the "wuppdi Welcome Page" is still activated) : After the restart of the IDE the IDE Insight search is now still working!

On the linked page, you wrote:

 

"To reset the IDE Insight toolbar, select View -> Toolbars -> Customize to open the customize dialog. Under the Toolbars tab select the IDE Insight toolbar, click the Reset button and confirm."

 

There is no "IDE Insight toolbar" item in my list of toolbars in Delphi Rio 10.3.3:

Seems as the IDE Insight toolbar is not part of the toolbars anymore, there is no way to reset it as described.

Well, the wuppdi Welcome Page options provide a checkbox for "Include Favorites in IDEInsight". It might help to just disable that one.

It was already disabled:

 

 

Right now, IDE Insight Search (F6) does work (even after IDE restart). Let's wait until it gets disabled again.

I had the same problem today in my Delphi 10.4.
After some searching and comparing with a newly created registry key for Delphi, I found out that it is due to the disabled entries in the IDEInsight key.

 

Example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\IDEInsight]
"Disabled0"="Project Options"
"Disabled1"="Components"
"Disabled2"="Object Inspector"
"Disabled3"="New Items"
"Disabled4"="Open Files"
"Disabled5"="Recent Files"
"Disabled6"="Recent Projects"
"Disabled7"="Component Palette"
"Disabled8"="Code Templates"
"Disabled9"="Desktop SpeedSettings"
"Disabled10"="Projects"
"Disabled11"="Files"
"Disabled12"="Forms"
"Disabled13"="Commands"
"Disabled14"="Preferences"

After deleting the complete key in the registry and restarting Delphi, IDE Insight worked again.

Thanks for the information.

I find that whenever IDEInsight gets stuck (currently running mostly 10.3.3) the following rain dance helps:

• Open the IDE options (Tools > Options...)
• Type anything into the search field there:
  
• Close the options

For me the F6 search works after that 100% of the time 🤷‍♂️

This really is the solution! Thanks!

Thanks again - this old F6 disease is still present in Delphi 12!
