Is there a way to disable wildcard matching in searches?

A search for "1" returns "1" and "10" and "11".  

Is there a way to perform an explict match?

Could there be a numeric match if the attribute type is numeric?

Could there be a multi-value option for free text fields, e.g. comma-
separated?  This would allow multi-parent relationships between log items. 

E.g. specifying 12, 15 as a value would create unique Display links 
for "12" and "15", based on the Display specification for that attribute.

This would be like "multiple fixed options", for the purpose of formatting.

Thanks a lot for fixing this issue, especially as it was never planed. I will
test it on Monday afternoon and will give you a reply.

Try: (From monster.com)
<SELECT NAME="lid" multiple size="5">
<OPTION VALUE=""> ------- Select all -------- </OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="323">Alabama-Anniston</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="324">Alabama-Birmingham</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="325">Alabama-Mobile/Dothan</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="328">Alabama-Montgomery</OPTION>
...
</SELECT>

Although this may not be supported in all browsers. (I think recent versions of 
Netscape and IE support it)

I'm configuring this great application in order to replace the previous
elogbook my community is using (in the accelerator's world).

One of the main and mandatory feature they cannot renunce is the possibility
of displaying every attached image just inline, without having to click over
the file name or to enter the entry view (in which the attachment can
already be displayed inline) ...  

- images (and hopefully ps, eps, pdf) be displayed inline just after the
text body of the message in the main "List" view
- possibility to configure the scale of this view
- possibility of build some thumbs in order to save BW and time


Is there any way to do it or any plan to implement such a feature in the
very next future ? 

current version uses strstr() to check if the file has the expected ascii
text extension ... this is buggy becouse this way a file named
".txt_hidden_file" or "foo.config.dat" are both seen as .txt files.

the following patch fixes the problem, plz apply to cvs:

You can achieve that by using "Edit", and then check "Resubmit as new entry",
then click "Submit".

The idea is good, but it does not work for me. What happens when I do this is
that I get a new ID, but the old ID is deleted.... It disappears from the list,
and if you try to access it manually it says that it is deleted.

Bug then? My config?

Best regards
