prescient.el 6.2

Features

• New user option prescient-tiebreaker which can be used to change how matches with no recency information are sorted, instead of by length (#128).

Internal Changes

• prescient-filter now only propertizes the first returned candidate for use with prescient-sort-full-matches-first (#148). Custom sorting functions using this data should be changed to search the candidates for the properties, as in prescient--get-sort-info.

Bugs fixed

• Fix highlighting of the first prefix in the prefix filter method (#149).

Enhancements

• Improve filter situation when using prefix, initialism, and prescient-sort-full-matches-first by tweaking prefix (#149).
  • Previously, with the input "re", prefix would match all of the string "repeat", which would sort it higher than "restart-emacs" when attempting to use "re" as an initialism.
  • Now, the prefix "re" only matches the "re" in "repeat", but does not match the entire word. If there is no non-word character in the subquery, prefix matching is now done non-greedily.
  • Continuing without change, "str-re" still fully matches "string-rectangle" and ".g" still fully matches ".gitignore". The inclusion of a non-word character means that these inputs couldn't be used as initialisms anyway, so there is no conflict when matching greedily for these inputs.
