The request is from 2004 and not being commented for almost 3 years. I thought it was more or less either forgotten or not taken care of. This present thread leads leads me to second #156858 AND to request for the type-ahead memory to be persistent - if I well understand it's reset when I restart the app. Worth to post a comment to #156858 and submit a new query for the type-ahead memory in your opinion?
