(Archived) how to delete search criteria fast w/o leaving the notebook

[evermullah 8]

Hi all,

i'm looking for a smart way to delete ALL the choosen search words (actually, its a string, which i pasted into the searchfield) at once,

*without* using the Reset Button, because that swtichtes the current notebook to "All Notebooks" and then, it takes very long for EN to respond again.

also, i do not want/like to leave the current notebook.

so "reset" isnt a good choice.

any idea?

Click on the white x in the grey circle at the far right of the search field.

Or is that what you mean by 'reset'?

Edit: seems to work for me - it clears the search and leaves the notebook selection.

Click on the white x in the grey circle at the far right of the search field.

i'm amazed.

THATS it. i cannot understand, why i never realized that X before!

Thanks a lot.

Also, a click on the lupe selects the whole searchfield. useful!

Now that you've discovered that UI feature, you'll also notice it appears in the search fields in:

Safari

iTunes

iPhoto

basically every other app

It saves a lot of time!

basically every other app It saves a lot of time!

it hopefully will.

although i don't use those apps a lot. itunes for syncing, because i have to.

(some time later and some checks later....)

ok, i see now. :shock: it's an ui feature of common apple software.

never too late to learn (again)
