"type ahead find death grip""type ahead find death grip"Posted Feb 11, 2004 21:05 UTC (Wed) by stuart (subscriber, #623)In reply to: "type ahead find death grip" by corbet Parent article: A grumpy user's browser review I'm so glad someone else suffers from this! I don't know how to properly initiate it, so it is not useful when it could be and when I use google it bites me. Gah. Who finds this damn thing useful? Stu.

"type ahead find death grip" Posted Feb 11, 2004 22:35 UTC (Wed) by bryn (guest, #1482) [Link] I can see a use for this, but it would be so much more useful if only happened on request. It's screaming out for tab-completion of some form.

"type ahead find death grip" Posted Feb 13, 2004 1:17 UTC (Fri) by Mithrandir (subscriber, #3031) [Link] I find it very useful as I'm a vim user, and am thus used to typing a slash, followed by the search term, to find things. When it was first introduced into mozilla (in 1.1 or 0.9 something?) it was a bit buggy, but it has been completely stable now for ages.I'm suprised the other browsers have probs with it. Does anyone know what the (approximate) numbers of users each of the open source browsers has? I'm guessing that things stabilise quicker in Mozilla because it has heaps of Windows users pounding on it.
