I bet you'd never find it with that though, you may want to try "t, Co" , however. I see why you are having troubles.

Actually, I do think the search option is fantastically accurate and very, very quick for me, as I use Marklwood's strategy all the time, i.e., pieces of words or combination of words in the middle of a song or name and ALWAYS get 'em the first time.

I like the search options for the reasons like "wherm I gonna live" for the longest time i couldn't emember how "wherm" was spelled so I just typed in "gonna L" Or stuff Like "leave the p" instead of leave the peices I tend to switch my I and E when typing. Maybe you should type in the artist for that song instead Like when i try to find "One" by metallica or "Walk" by pantera just take some time and figure out the best way to fing it. I wouldn't change that option for anything.

How exactly do you "fing" it.

I have seen other programs that are a bit more leniant in the search. Like if you are looking for a specific song say Bette Davis Eyes - Juice Newton, you can type in Davis Juice & it will come up with that exact title/artist combo. Then others you don't have to have exact spelling. Like looking for Metallica, if you type in Metalica (missing an L) - it will still bring up Metallica.
I would love for Hoster to ignore punctuation like ' or , if looking for a song with don't, can't, etc.

Hi Lonman
Yes with you all the way on this one.
Perhaps it should be in a new thread for New Features requests.

It's the apostrophe's or inverted commas that get me.
