I can see how limiting the number of matches displayed would help. However, I just entered my wife's name and my brother-in-law's name into the search box. beagle-search just returned the "top 23 of 24 matches." Why limit something like that? Is showing "only" 23 out of 24 matches really that much faster than showing all 24? Rick -- Rick's Law: What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool. PGP Key Id: 9E1125E0
