case 1:

try to use ctrl-u to search URL, got the selected highlight shift 3 chars to right,

exapmle:

Ξ ~CM_CONF_DIR → curl http://www.google.com
2nd line

it suppose to match from http to com, however it match starting from p:// to 2nd in the next line

case 2:

same like above,

↑127 ~CM_CONF_DIR → echo http://www.google.com
2nd line

it matchs starting from p:// to 2nd

Hey, thank you for reporting.
This is due to somewhat shabby support for non-ASCII characters. I was also able to reproduce this in some occasions.

Patch for this is welcome.

Hi, this issue was fixed by @metcalfc in #66.

The problem was in using awk because it appears it doesn't handle multi-byte characters well.

To fix the problem:

  • install gawk (if you already don't have it)
  • upgrade to the latest plugin version

I was able to verify this is now fixed so I'll close this issue, but please try it out and let me know.
