This is really determined by the plug-in. Look at iTunes for example. None of your artists/albums/songs are in the catalog, but you can search them with a trigger. The Yojimbo plug-in adds items to the catalog, but it also lets you access them by arrowing into the application or a tag. I don’t think anyone knows what “Include in Global catalog” is supposed to do. It sounds like it should do what you’re asking so maybe it’s a bug that it doesn’t. > 5. Speed!!!

B54 (which I used until last week) had absolutely no trouble keeping up with me. I’m now using what will more or less end up as B59 and it is plenty fast. I can’t really tell a difference between it and B54. > 1. Enable delete key to delete only the last typed character.

I usually go so fast that the mistake is not the last thing I typed. I wouldn’t want to have to keep hitting backspace until I got there. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to stop and *think* about where the mistake occurred so I can go back jut the right amount. I appreciate just being able to wipe it all and start typing again. My fingers are trained to type the whole search, not the last half of it, so I still think this is faster. But you obviously feel differently, so like I said, this could be OK as an option. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
