It would be better than the current design, but I think the match icon would make items easier to find. When you click on a match from the history handler the item will go to > the top of history. This might be useful when a item from the dropdown > menu is selected, too. However, history behaved exactly the same in > previous versions, too. I'm not sure if we should really change this. The history handler doesn't work in this use case, I am just clicking on the history, then on a frequently-used item, not doing a new search from scratch. This would be a significant change in behavior. My history list gets close to 30 items long before I have to clear it (which I think must happen to others using deskbar constantly like I do), but several items on that list are "frequent fliers" that I wish were easier to get to. Really, my whole point about the icons is more to find a better way to distinguish history items rather than finding the perfect icon, which is why I suggested this change. I think it would bring deskbar closer to the way gimmie makes stuff you use all the time more prominent and easier to get to. Cheers, -- Joe daLuz
