Dear LyX users, I am a longtime (since 0.7 or so) user of LyX. In my Department, some colleagues and I are pushing for LyX adoption.
I have been trying LyX 1.5.0beta1 for some days now. It's very nice and stable (I am using it for a complex document with about 250 pages--very satisfied so far). I have one problem which did not exist in 1.4.x or before with literature citations, using external bibtex files. If one author (or any word) is listed in more than one entry of my literature file (a pretty normal situation), in 1.4.x or above I used to type the author name or key word in the "Find:" field and repeatedly click on "next" to search in the whole bibtex file until the document/citation containing that string/author/word until the desired one was selected; then I inserted the desired citation. With the new citation dialog, seemingly, only the key is searched for. This is rather inconvenient, as the key is often related to the first author name, while often one looks for one article by the name of another author, or maybe one word in the title, and would like to select which article he would like to cite among those satisfying the criterion of containing the typed string. Therefore, I would like LyX 1.5.0beta1 to search in the _whole_ bibtex database as LyX did before 1.5. Is there any way to customise it to change the default behaviour? Or is this a bug? (If it is, please consider this message as a bug notification!). Thanks a lot for all the nice work you have been doing! Regards from Marco Bravi
