Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-05-14 02:32:59 UTC
It used to be possible, if you wanted to search on (let's say) "the end", to simply type "th", wait for "The" to be autosuggested, press the down arrow to select it, press the right arrow, and get "The" as your typed input, with autosuggestions based on the whole word rather than the two characters of the word that you typed. For long, but common words, that's a real timesaver. Likewise, you could formerly select "The Egg" from the autocompletion menu, delete the last two characters, and amend it to "The End" if that's what you wanted to do. Quite useful if you get an autocompletion that's almost correct.

At some point in time SimpleSearch did change the content of the text box like that when you pressed the down arrow, but this feature was removed recently.
