two enigmas

Hi!

1.Drag-and-drop text or images from Opera or IE doesn't work, but from Mozilla Firefox is OK. Do I have to enable something or what? I'm on Opera and this feature would be great.

2.Searching a file named "Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy" by "The Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy" in the Name Field and with the Default Settings doesn't find anything but the file is found only after removing simply the "The" in the search. Each of the other words together or separately does the job fine but this "the" seems to spoil everything. This is very inconvenient. And I found something interesting - when I search by "Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy T" I get that file. When I put either "o" or "l" at the end like this "Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy To" and "Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy Tl" I still find the file. But if I put at the end whichever of the rest of the letters, the search fails. Is there some explanation for this behavior? I just want to find a simple file...

Thank you!

2) This is because XY is looking for all of those words (or rather patterns) within the file name. 'o', 'l', 't', 'to', and 'tl', all show up in the file name, but 'the' does not. Another way to look at it is that it's looking for "the" and "Routledge" and ... and "Philosophy" in the file name. If the logic were all ors then anything with "the" or "of" in the name would show up and that's not ideal either.

I'm not sure you can easily make "The Routledge History Of Chinese Philosophy" work as you expect in today's XY.


Don, maybe we need a tweak to list words that search should ignore?

1) both seems to work fine here with IE 8 (cannot test opera)
2) uhhmmm, rather not, never mind
