The heuristic is nowhere > near adequately restrictive. I initially received new emphasis on file names or version numbers as a nice display feature, and sent a letter to Lars for thanking him. However, I realize that these new things are also clickable, and when clicked, they get interpreted as browsable URLs. This is not nice, as there are many false matches. If a numeric quad representing an IP address is emphasised, no problem with me. But clicking on it should reasonably try a ping maybe, but launching Netscape is much! :-) If I click on a mere file name, I would expect that file to be visited if it exists locally maybe, but launching Netscape looks like overkill to me... Emphasis is welcome, but clickability might be rethought. I understand that the equilibrium between getting a lot of false matches, and missing good matches, is a delicate matter, and related to the taste of users. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
