You're right I just tested also. I don't know how I did it before, but I once had a problem with incremental search not finding items that were out of alpha order... for example list items are as follows:
Apple
Banana
Germany
Zipper
Alfred
It worked for all items but Alfred. I'll have to play with it and see how I made it fail. (Funny how things only fail when you _don't_ want them to huh?)
