We are trying to make the autocomplete feature work on all possible
browsers, and not cause any error messages on browsers where it does
not work, so we can replace the whole remembering feature with the
autocomplete.

The most annoying problem currently with the autocomplete is that it
interferes with some IEs autocomplete. Although we have code in the JS
to disable the autocomplete programatically... It works in some IEs,
but we need time to figure out, why it does not work in other IEs...

I was using IE6 on a W2K platform at the time. I just checked and it
seems like the "strlen>0" condition actually works!

I tried using the manual-pages like I normally do and discovered that
I'm using Alt+s to focus the search field as soon as it is displayed in
the browser. After focussing the field I begin typing my search phrase
but most of the time the field is filled with my last search phrase
just before I begin typing and I need to delete the old search phrase
or focus the field again by pressing Alt+s.

It is a minor problem but when you're using the php manual 30-50 times
a day it becomes annoying when you perhaps only reuse your old search
phrase one or two times!

I've actually considered disabling cookies just too avoid this
"feature" :-)

As you can see the implemtantion of searchHistory() in
http://www.php.net/userprefs.js, you can check that we do check the
length of the input field if there is any content in it, and only put
in the previous search term, if there is nothing typed in there... This
solution might not fit all browsers. We have introduced that check long
ago, at a similar user request, and that user was satisfied with this
solution, so it worked in his browser. Since you have not provided info
on what browser you use, it is quite hard to say anything about the
problem...

My main problem with this 'feature' is not so much that it is annoying,
but more because the previous search phrase is inserted long after the
text box is loaded - which as mentioned overwrites whatever you're
typing.

So how about 'remembering' the text a lot earlier, so that when you
start typing in a search, it is not overwritten.

sniper: Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate the right category and
regrettably your comment didn't enlighten me further...

goba: Sounds promising - looking forward :-)
