Hello Empeg'ers

Last demonstration resulted into some discomfort with me when I was demonstrating the search functionality via the Rio-Remote control. I was asking for someone's favorite artist, when the person said: "U2".
And then the problem starts: how to use a digit in the search?
OK.. never mind he said, try this one: R.E.M. (I've it with dot's in between)... ehhh... for the second time... how I include the dot inside the search? Finally he asked for Radiohead, which was no problem.

So...
Anybody here who can explain me how to handle mentioned seach problem?

Thanks in advance

The 2 is on the 2 key. The dots are ignored. To search for R.E.M., just use {7prs}{3def}{6mno}

Surely something went exceptional wrong in my head .

Why it didn't worked ?!?!
Surely I did it wrong... blame it to the SMS-thumb

Thanks anyway!

Just in case you were doing the usual common mistake, check this. I'll also edit this entry to include mention of special characters.
