thank you for your reply.

I have tried it out and it helps ,ofcourse. But it should possibly work in any search field,as currently it makes usage limited.
Also it doesn't seem to be quite as versatile.

Maybe some benevolent developper will take it open him/herself to get this someday

thanks anyway!
