Thank you for the report. Active search is currently not actively maintained since it does not fall into the core scope of the project. Due to time constraints we are unable to resolve this problem at the moment. The bug has been marked helpwanted though to indicate that we would be happy to support a community contribution to resolve it.

Thanks for the reply. This is bit of a different issue, but I am not sure if the active search makes a lot of sense to me in it's current presentation. Specifically, I would prefer if predicted elements appear along with all the other elements in the context but perhaps with some indication that they are predicted. I don't think a separate view is necessary for such elements. What do you think?

I have CC'd Mik who wrote the original implementation and can best respond to that.

I think that makes sense, but we're not actively working on context search.
