Indexing fails in private Firefox window

[IncPlusPlus]

Description

When the search box is opened in a private Firefox window, indexing never completes and the message "Your search query is performed when indexing is over..." never goes away. Console output:

I am using xapian engine
error { target: IDBOpenDBRequest, isTrusted: true, srcElement: IDBOpenDBRequest, eventPhase: 0, bubbles: true, cancelable: true, returnValue: true, defaultPrevented: false, composed: false, timeStamp: 82, … }
bubbles: true
cancelBubble: false
cancelable: true
composed: false
currentTarget: null
defaultPrevented: false
eventPhase: 0
explicitOriginalTarget: IDBOpenDBRequest { onblocked: null, onupgradeneeded: onupgradeneeded(), readyState: "done", … }
isTrusted: true
originalTarget: IDBOpenDBRequest { onblocked: null, onupgradeneeded: onupgradeneeded(), readyState: "done", … }
returnValue: true
srcElement: IDBOpenDBRequest { onblocked: null, onupgradeneeded: onupgradeneeded(), readyState: "done", … }
target: IDBOpenDBRequest { onblocked: null, onupgradeneeded: onupgradeneeded(), readyState: "done", … }
timeStamp: 82
type: "error"
<get isTrusted()>: function isTrusted()
<prototype>: EventPrototype { composedPath: composedPath(), stopPropagation: stopPropagation(), stopImmediatePropagation: stopImmediatePropagation(), … }

Cause

This happens because Firefox doesn't allow usage of the IndexedDB which is a feature the xapian search engine requires.

Workarounds

There are two ways to work around the issue

• Open the search in a non-private window
• Right click the extension and switch to the lunr search engine
