    Second build of the type-to-search fork.

    Changes since v1.40.2-typing.1

    • The search is cleared when the launcher is left, even after a short app switch or a fast return
      from a launched app. Upstream keeps the search for returns within five seconds, which left the old
      query on screen.
    • Dismissing the search page now ends the keyboard driven search, so opening the search again
      (gesture or search bar) focuses the text field and shows the soft keyboard as usual.

    The feature

    • Pressing a printable key on the physical keyboard on the home screen opens the search and inserts
      the character.
    • Characters keep their order, even when typing faster than the launcher can redraw.
    • Backspace deletes, enter launches the highlighted result.
    • The on-screen keyboard stays hidden while you type.
    • Tapping the search bar gives the normal editable field with the soft keyboard.
    • Setting: Settings -> Search -> Search on typing (on by default).
