Stop FARR From Searching Further?

(1/3) > >>

J-Mac:
Hi mouser.

This is in reference to launching applications. More and more I find myself accidentally launching the wrong program with FARR. I type in the first few letters and after searching for a few seconds FARR seems to stop with its list of results. I see that the program I wish to launch is shown as #2 so I press "2" on the number pad. However just as I press it FARR suddenly adds some more results and changes the order, making result #2 a completely different item than the program I intended to launch. Of course if it is a program that is slow launching I have to wait for it before closing it and using FARR again.

How can I make sure FARR stops changing the search results before I commit to pressing a number key?

Also, FARR seems to be slower than it was in the past. I haven't changed any settings in it, but since there have been many updates to FARR I imagine that by not changing some settings I have unwittingly had the settings changed simply by virtue oif the updates' new default settings. Anything suggestions to make it fast for launching once again?

Thanks!

Jim

Pressing 'Esc' should stop the search.

I don't think that quite addresses the problem.

I've run into this a couple of times myself.  Maybe there could be an option added where farr stops searching after a set number of seconds.  Like 2 seconds.  and if you want more, then press some key.

Tuck's suggestion to hit escape should work, or you can hit the down arrow.
Superboy, i'm not sure people would like having to press a key to search further..

ok...I don't know anyway.  So if you press down, the searching stops?  I think I knew that...that's cool.  Works for me.
