    Fixed bug in alarm time picker for tasks.( minutes for alarm times
    can only be in 5 minute steps. Prior version allowed to select
    arbitary times (like 10:33) but these alarms were ignored.

    I hold this is application as one of the most significant extensions to the N900 in terms of added value. I tested scout on a contact list reaching almost 8000 entries, and have been absolutely thrilled by the speed and ability to search even among note's content.

    I know that integrating email's content search would be a killer feature, but might be quite challenging to implement.

    On the other hand, there's another feature that could probably be added with less coding: multiple terms conditional search with inclusions and exclusions, maybe by simply prefacing each term with + or -.

    Could you set up a paypal account for donations ? I would gladly send some $ your way to support the development of a multiple terms conditional search capability.

    I would like to integrate email search as well, but I have to dig in the
    email app source to find a way to search for email content.

    For all other categories (Calender, Contacts ...) are documented API-Function
    for listing or searching content. There is something for emails as well but
    I couldn't get it to work.

    And the conditional search with inclusion and exclusion sounds good and
    may be simple to implement. I will try it.

    nicolai, great app, thanks.

    I was wondering, although it might be difficult to implement, would it be possible for scout to take over the contact search option from the desktop, where by you open your phone and start typing a contacts name to find them.

    If this could be done, would it be also possible to add application search to the list? Perhaps so as you start typing a list appears of the apps installed, in the same manner as App Search Wizard does, then if you don't want an app you press search and a search of the contacts, messages and calender gets done.

    I don't know if a simple tweak with gconftool can easily change the behaviour of the desktop contacts search or not. I am probably wishing for too much here, but you have produced a killer app and this might be a way of making it even more usable.

    Then again would this be stealing App Search Wizard's glory? I don't know.

    Sadly, no. Already tried and searched for a solution, but the contact
    search from the desktop isn't configurable. At least not with
    the default hildon-desktop. Matans modified hildon desktop
    may have such an option.

    If you mean App Search Widget, I wouldn't care, as I am the author
    of both :-)

    Hi PipoXtreme,

    I don't know where to start to find the reason for this problem.
    I can not reproduce this. I tried many different kind of messages
    hacked my message-db and put some weired content in it
    just find the condition to reproduce this behavior.

    I think the only way would be, you send me your stored messages
    and I try to find what goes wrong.

    Or, I make one version of the app which prints out to a log-file.

    I suspect that email content searching isn't trivial given the amount of data that could require filtering before even trying to locate terms.
