Question: Is third party plugins/applets important for your Squeezebox
purchases ?
    
- I won't buy any more Squeezebox products unless support for third
  party development is prioritized
- I won't buy any more Squeezebox products unless the third party
  plugins I rely on is supported
- I use third party plugins but I would still consider buying more
  Squeezebox products without them
- I don't use third party plugins so they aren't important to my
  Squeezebox purchases

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.
