Maybe I'm dense, but I can't make it work at all. Instructions might help, or maybe it's just broken.

It kind of works, but the annoying thing is that it doesn't function for symbols. So searching something like * or + alone won't work...and guess what I needed this for. :')

What's the meaning of "gate" key is pressed? It doesn't seem to work on my computer.
