Search Extensions: “No results found for search” - when refreshing results

[inspiredearth]

Checks

• I confirm I have restarted NotePlan and this problem still persists.
• Is this a repeatable problem?

Describe the bug
I have used the Search Extensions plugin to create a number of saved searches. saved as notes.
When I click the “Refresh Results” link that’s in those search notes, I always get “No results found for search” popping up. And the results do not refresh.

What do you expect it to do instead?
I expected the results to be refreshed. There are results to be found, as evident in the multiple existing search results, and new items that should be picked up in the refresh.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I expect most of the steps are self-evident. Do let me know if you need more info.

In my tests, I am search for a tag (#waiting-on). I have tried using just the /quicksearch method, and also the /flexisearch method. It doesn’t appear to matter what terms I search for, or other conditions.

E.g., in my /quicksearch I simply searched for #waiting-on. It gives results as expected.
I then add a new instance of #waiting-on in my notes.
I then refresh, and it doesn’t work, as descried in this bug report.
I have also used the /flexisearch to give more complex criteria (doesn’t seem to matter what they are). Same issue occurs.

Thanks for the clear report @inspiredearth. I can't try to fix it right now, as I'm in the middle of releasing something else, but I can reproduce the problem. And I can suggest a workaround, which is to reveal the x-callback URL under the 'Refresh' link, and remove the &arg2=... part.

Thanks Jonathan || @jgclark . Great name.
I'll try out this workaround.
