always the same text in field NAMED
I delete every time *siteunder* and it's always there...
what can I do?

That's a 'feature' where x2 pops up the last non-null name search you have used.
I suspect the reasoning is that it is expected to be more useful than an empty name field, since unconstrained searches are not allowed; however, I must agree with your tacit complaint that is an unnecessary nuisance when the last (& pethaps habitual) search constraint was not by name but by size/date/etc...
ooops, didn't see your post, nikos
... & BTW, the clear button doesn't work to keep the last name constraint from popping up again on subsequent searches.
PS - there is a workaround: use ?* for the name field, & it will 'stick' so the last used 'Containing Text' or 'Additional Rules' which pop up can be used with an unconstrained name, as desired.

I guess I was too indirect with my first reply, devic.
nikos, the usability issue is that it is an unnecessary nuisance to have to clear (or enter *? in) the name field when the last (& pethaps habitual) search constraint was not by name but by containstext/size/date/etc... .
In other words, the complete previous search conditions should appear by default, including a blank name field, if that is what was specified.

I agree. I've learned to live with it (so after a while you do get used to it), but this suggestion is far better. I'm glad Nikos is 'fixing' this one in a next release.fgagnon wrote:I guess I was too indirect with my first reply, devic.

Dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
