</div></div>i've been bitten by this too. perhaps it would be possible<br>
to somehow highlight the search box when it's in use? if the<br>
inadvertent character is a period, or comma, or otherwise tiny<br>
character, one has only a _very_ subtle visual cue as to what's<br>
happened. if the search field outline, or even perhaps just the<br>
magnifier icon, were colored when text was entered, it would be pretty<br>
obvious what was happening.<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Now that I know where to look, and am vastly more experienced than I was just a mere 8 hours ago :-) there is a little x in a circle that appears at te right edge inside the Search field whenever there is something entered there - so there is already a difference between null and something present, in that box. I just didn't know this low contrast behaviour for filtering existed at all.<br>
