Correct way to add docs?

I just downloaded Dash to try it because someone recommended it to me, but getting started is very difficult—there are specific docs or docsets I’d like to use, but I can’t install them unless I can find a search that puts what I want in a list with other items, too. See this example interaction:

If I stop typing “bash” at ba, then I can install it. But add the s, and I can’t. And there are items like “Xamarin” that I can’t install at all without scrolling through the entire unfiltered list—simply typing x is enough to make it disappear.

I’m honestly not sure how this app is supposed to be used—is there a recommended way for adding docsets that’s not this one? The initial intake UX of the app guides you to this place, so perhaps it needs to be changed?

Playing with this a bit more, I think it may be an off-by-one/indexing error you’ve made in this display. The filtered list displayed is [1..] based on a zero-indexed list. So you actually only see the second, third, and so on results. And when it’s just one (like b a s, which can only match “Bash”) you get no results at all.

So this seems like a trivial bug to fix, not a documentation issue after all!
