When I read the description of this plugin I was sceptically since at the beginnning of typing only numbers are shown but if you once try to use it you will see that you don't look at the display but only on the keys during input and if after 3 or 4 key presses you look at the display there is already a real name list shown. Lazy search is in my opinion at least 10 times faster then the regular search and SHOULD be included in the core. -- dip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
