Wildcard search

Hi,

When I type h@lo, as explained in the 2.0 tutorial, I get halo, as expected.

But when I type m@n, it switches to Chinese dictionary; when I switch manually to English dictionary, it says
"No matches (exact or approximate) were found for the search query entered."

In this case, am I supposed to get the English definition of "man", among others? How do I do an English search for "m@n"?

Thanks

The E-C wildcard search needs at least two contiguous letters somewhere, due to some design compromises we had to make to get it working well on ultra-low-memory devices like the Tungsten E2 - if you type in "m@nly" that will bring the results right up. (this should be easy to fix in a future version once we stop supporting Palm)
