[Bliss Search] Search widgets (online Find and apps) issue with digit inputs
- /e/OS version: 3.4/3.5/3.6 (e-3.6-a16-20260321-UNOFFICIAL-pipa)
- Device model(s): Xiaomi Pad 6 and others (FP3, FP6 ; see Related tickets below)
- Impacted Application: ~Launcher
- Affected application/URL: Search widgets / search strings (online Find and app) including digits
## The problem
Bliss Launcher Search widgets do not allow to input digits, for searching through your apps or do an online Find (using Qwant)
**Steps to reproduce**
Go to the widgets page and use Search at the top
or Swipe down on the Home screen to get the app Search widget,
Then:
1. Input a string starting with a digit (ex: "1") =\> **FAILS (nothing displayed)**
2. Enter a character input then 1 digit (with or without space) =\> **FAILS (digit not displayed)**
3. Re-init the search (using the X cross on the right)
4. Input a string starting with at least 1 character, then 1 digit **without space** =\> **OK**
5. Now add a space, and try to input another digit =\> **FAILS (additional digit not displayed)**

## Technical details
As per @[tcecyk](https://gitlab.e.foundation/tcecyk) https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/8841#note_747490, there may be a misuse of `android:inputType="text"` at https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/BlissLauncher3/-/blob/66d1934644262f7f684ef6dfee0b4afee174cfa2/bliss/res/layout/search_bar.xml#L34
@[tcecyk](https://gitlab.e.foundation/tcecyk) suggests:
> android:inputType="textVisiblePassword|textNoSuggestions"
Another possible solution could be (Warning: I'm not an Android developer!)
> android:inputType="text|number"
<span dir="">Available types: </span>https://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.styleable#TextView_inputType
I'm not yet able to do such dev, but I can test if needed.
