Re: Wrong date and a search suggestion

[Andreas Heinz <dashboard a80 net>]

Hi joe,

thanks for your hint with artist. of course now it even works without 
putting artist before the artist. don't know why, hmm.

as i wrote this mail i could imagine, that it can be a problem because 
of performance to check the complete path, since this increases search 
results a lot.

nevertheless not a big problem at all. but my problem with dates is a 
problem. i forgot to tell that i had the feeling this also happens with 
gaim logs?!

bye
Andreas
