I am searching Keywords and as each letter is typed the Keywords matching is expanded.  This is rather confusing as I would expect only the final matching word should be expanded.  Is there some way that you could only expand keywords after the user indicate the typing is complete (maybe by pressing Enter).

Not sure this happens with any other searches.

I suppose we could make it a preference that it does nothing until you hit enter, but type-down searches work the way it's implemented.  I see that the highlighting is working well.  It's pretty obvious what the match is.

True, it is working well but if I start with a 'B' then about 3 pages worth of keywords are expanded which is a pain because then scrolling becomes a real mission and there is no way I can find to un-expand all items.

Keith,

OK, we'll consider making that change.

New "Search as you Type" option works perfectly.  Thanks for adding this option  :)

Agreed!

I suggest that you change the preference so that it performs the search after you press enter.  Note, this is contained in the build posted here: http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=12753.msg65531#msg65531
