A faster way of searching in Interval?

Maybe some of you know this already… or have better ways of searching in Interval. Until a couple of days ago I was using lists of codes that I had saved in a word document. So for every search I would go to the word document and copy the list that I wanted, then pasted it in the II search box. I noticed that the lists were in Chrome already because of the autofill feature but i just had too many lists there so I did not know which one was which. Because of that, I just used the lists saved in Word every time I was searching.

My 2 improvements:

1) I realized that you can actually delete any of the autofill lines in Chrome, so I just cleared all to start with fresh lists:

Say you have

upload_2019-1-16_8-5-41.png


If you want to delete the LONGer list (the second one), you just hover the mouse over that second line, press shift+alt+delete and that line goes away.


2)


So let's say you erased the lists that were saved by the autofill feature and now you only have the 4-5 lists you want to search with (I have a short list, Caribbean, one with more codes, ski resorts, summer trips, fall trips etc). But without a "label" you may still not know for sure which list is which of the five you have now.

What I noticed is that Interval ignores certain words in the sentence.


Say I am searching with APZ, Axr, bgd, BRA, CAN, CEU, CXP, DB2, DP1, DPH, EBS, GBM, GBN, GMY, GSD, GSE, GSF, HCC, HEC, HRA, HT2, HT3, HTB, HWP, HYK, HYP, ITD, LAQ, LBY, LX2, LXR, MAO, MBE, MBP, MC3, MCI, MCP


I am getting the exact same results by searching with LONGer,APZ, Axr, bgd, BRA, CAN, CEU, CXP, DB2, DP1, DPH, EBS, GBM, GBN, GMY, GSD, GSE, GSF, HCC, HEC, HRA, HT2, HT3, HTB, HWP, HYK, HYP, ITD, LAQ, LBY, LX2, LXR, MAO, MBE, MBP, MC3, MCI, MCP


So if I add certain key words (not resort codes) followed by coma at the beginning of each list, I can know exactly what list I am going to use for any search


I have to say, using a word document and copy/paste each time was just fine. But I really like now that I do not have to do that extra step of opening the word document for every search. I hope this will help other TUGgers as well.

Thanks — I might not use this information for timeshare exchange searches, but it’s new and useful knowledge for me re how Chrome’s auto fill works!

this is why the TUGgers will generally be better informed than the general population :)
