Pre-Rel10 is now available:

Fixed:

Field name and properties appears duplicated in "manage fields" dialog, even if not the case
HTML export related issue
Quick Search problem
search column height needs auto adjustment
HTML pane caption not updating when collapsed

New:

Quick search has 2 new features
- Google-like search: Now uses the same syntax as Google:
  - cal the : will find anything that has both "cal" and "the" (so this will find the string "The Calendar")
  - calendar or outlook : either "calendar" or "outlook"
  - "the calendar": the string "the calendar"
  - It even supports ( ), so complex ones like: "the calendar" or (info and pivot) will work!
- Show results in one of 3 views
  - Search Grid
  - New Search Grid
  - Current grid as Hoisted items
    (This one is really neat ! )
Save and Load Keyboard shortcuts (only main menu for now, not those of the HTML pane)
Hoist up 1 level

Enjoy !

Hey ! This is awesome ! Can't wait to try all that tomorrow !

Thanks !!

>HTML pane caption not updating when collapsed

But the HTML pane caption is now blanked out when not collapsed.

Quick Search looks terrific, thanks Pierre!

Pierre, thanks for all the fixes, updates, additions & surprises.

The new search GUI & possibilities are great additions.... and...

I have two questions about it:

1. search w details reveals "shown in" column withe results for some items but not others. why?

2. what's the difference in content between the drop down search results vs what's left in the dialog?

Many thanks for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.

> 1. search w details reveals "shown in" column withe results for some items but not others. why?

is that the same problem mentioned in this thread Quick search display does not include "Shown In" data

Yes, thank you, Tom. I just would have thought it would have been fixed by now.

The ability to click on the 'shown in' link is a help both in identifying what appear to be duplicates of the same item & for other reasons

I reviewed the thread you referenced and all the notes like "grid must be closed" etc to make it work, don't work here

Furthermore, when I opened a search grid from 'show in' link I couldn't sort from the column headers

I guess i shouldn't be so picky given the progress by leaps & bounds that Pierre is making

It makes me sound un-grateful for all the things that DO WORK so beautifully.

Hi Pierre -- busy day today...

The google like search is great !

-- Like you said the "Hoist in current grid" option is great ! This is really nice.

What comes to mind (of course) would be the ability to hoist items in any grid. That would complement the "shown in" admirably.

-- It seems that searching for different terms doesn't "mix" all text fields : if a term is found in a field, IQ will continue looking in that field instead of taking into account all other fields simultaneously. (Meaning that it won't find "A term from field 1" AND "A term from field 2" etc.) Am I right ?

There's so few time today : I'll try to give more precisions later.

Yes you are correct. Database wise, combining all text fields is difficult, so right now, each text field is treated separately.

You can achieve this in a 2 step process:

Search for the first term (select Search Entire File). Show all the results
With the search results shown, search for the second term, this time selecting Search Current Grid. This way you can, for example, search for items that the the words "Calendar" and are of color Red.

Wow the google style search sounds fantastic!

Pre-rel11 is now available.

All users should update as there is a issue with the HTML and properties panes not synchronizing when adding items... kind of essential isn't

Other changes:

The Calendar toolbar buttons for next / previous (day, month, year) are now auto-repeating. Press and hold (to help avoid mouse-related fatigue)
File>>Save As now prompts to copy the content of the YourIQBase.files folder (web clippings, etc)
Probably some other things, but I can't remember... afterall it is Christmas eve...

To all beta testers, a big

Merry Christmas everyone !!!

I think perhaps the thanks should be from us the users to you the developer, Pierre. An excellent year's work for which I for one am very grateful

Donc joyeuses fêtes de fin d'année !

Thanks to all. It is a pleasure (and a great source of motivation) working with such a friendly crowd!

Merry Christmas Pierre,

You done a wonderful job, your technical brilliance is apparent. What is also apparent are your people skills and patience in dealing with the forum on daily basis. Merry Christmas to all and thanks again!!

Pierre, congratulations on all you've accomplished in creating an associative database that's a real pleasure to use. You've mastered your instrument, attacking each day's tasks with boundless energy and phenomenal self-discipline.
