PyFunceble needs some improvements in its adblocker syntax support about pyfunceble HOT 3 CLOSED

Essentially, if PyFunceble was able to interpret facebook.com##.search as a request to check the availability of facebook.com, then I'd be able to see if my (quite often) adblocker-syntaxed lists would need to contain any entries for facebook.com anymore; if that helps explain my intention.

Great to know @DandelionSprout. I didn't think that people will use it like that 🤔 But that's an interesting point.

Until I free it from the aggressive logic, you can access what you want (facebook.com##.search) with the --agressive switch from the dev branch/version 👍

Thanks again for the feedback!

Hi @DandelionSprout and thanks for your feedback.

I'm working on the patch for this issue but first, why would you want for example

facebook.com##.search

to be in a hosts list for example?

I'm asking because according to the Wiki:

The most common type of static extended filters are cosmetic filters, also known as "element hiding filters" in Adblock Plus.

I never took them into consideration because they are "also known as "element hiding filters" in Adblock Plus."... But let's discuss that! What's your opinion?
