Agreed, for two reasons. The first is that it makes it much easier to throw an artist name from some other part of Rhythmbox into the search widget and have it work (we do this from the Ubuntu One music store, for example, although there we know we'll get it right). The second is that such lists of stopwords already exist, so they should be easy to incorporate :-) sil _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
