Re: tips backlog - searching through lots of stuff

Edward,

I believe that in Internet Explorer, or any other Web browser, you could type in "I" multiple times to scroll through the "I" list. Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.

What I hate is when you try to scroll down with the mouse wheel and end up with Wyoming selected, because the list is still highlighted.

Thanks!

You know how in Internet Explorer you will get suggestions to autocomplete what you have started typing based on prior entries (instead of typing '

' every time, you only have to type in 'www.g' and internet explorer will pop up a list of all the sites you've visited that have start with a 'g')? Same for outlook - all I have to do is start typing 'todd' and it will suggest Todd Trein, even though I might not have written to him in a year. The problem is that the lists can start getting really long, be full of stuff you will never use any more, and if you misspell something once it will always be in the darn suggestion list.

To delete stuff from that list, just hover your cursor over the item in the list and, without touching any mouse buttons, hit delete.

I just thought that was a neat tip, and wish soemone had told me (I had to search forever through a lot of websites to find that simple, useful little function). Maybe soemone else will find it as useful.

I have the same problem with Main, Maryland, Massachusetts. I have lived in both Michigan and Minnesota, but did you know that most of the time if you type "I" again it will normally go to the next state starting with "I" this way Idaho can stay Idaho and not confuse us all. Where would the good potatoes come from Quidaho Potato I wouldn't know what to do. Just think what the Montana and North Dakota people go through.

"Just think what the Montana and North Dakota people go through."

Montana people can press 'N' then the up arrow once. North Dakota people can press 'O' then the up arrow once.

I live in Maryland and usually only have to hit 'M' twice, but sometimes I end up with 'Marshall Islands'.

Someone did!
