[racket-dev] DrRacket PF1 Search Bug?

Ah, thanks! I see that if it is trying to load the docs that are in
/Applications then it runs the code below, which somehow magically
drops the query argument by the time safari gets it. It's not because
of the space, either; when I rename "Racket v6.1.1.5" to just "r", it
also doesn't work. But if I change the path to one in my home
directory (just like the one you write below), then I see it works.

Puzzling. It's almost like there is special handling for /Applications
instead of /Users.

#lang racket

(define url "file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz")

(define-values (stdout stdin pid stderr control)
  (apply values (process*/ports
                 (open-output-nowhere) #f (current-error-port)
                 (find-executable-path "osascript" #f)
                 "-e"
                 (format "open location \"~a\"" url))))

(close-output-port stdin)
