Auto-completing the search
 

I'm running LimeWire 2.9.8 and it's really annoying that every time I want type in a n artist or title name LimeWire auto-completes it. E.g., if I want to search for "Robbie Williams" written with upper case letters and with lower case letters "robbie williams" it is impossible because LimeWire auto-completes it the way I wrote it the first time.

Can somebody please tell me how to change that?

Thx in advance

the case of your search (ie whether it's "Sam" or "sam") doesn't have any effect on the results. but, if you want to turn off autocomplete, i believe the newest version has the option in the tools window, under 'view -> autocomplete text' (or maybe 'user interface -> autocomplete text'). if it's not in the newest version already, it'll be in the next one.

I like the auto complete--it's a great feature. I can just ignore it and type anything I want anyway. The option to turn it off is in 2.9.10 (Beta).

What would be very useful is to have the search box auto-enter whatever download or search result is selected. The entry could then be edited, especially for longer names. If I have to quit LW, all my search tabs are lost and it's tedious retyping all the pending downloads in order to search for more sources.

(Hi Sam--thanks again for adding the autocomplete).

Thank you so much
 

Thx a lot for helping me. I hope now that I've downloaded 2.9.10 it will work. Sberlin, are you from Germany? Or why did you choose that name?

Sincerly,

Laura

because my first name is sam and my last name is berlin? ;)

(no, i'm not from germany)
