Sounds suspiciously like sherlock, which happens to be one of the mac's
most spectacular disasters, despite repeated attempts revive it <I'm
prolly treading into hot water here>.
Though: I will admit that there is a need to fix the "find" thing on
OpenTracker. I keep searching the same term over again, (coz I'm tooo
lazy to troll through the menu for the appropriate "recent query" or to
browse the queries directory) -- and it seems like the effort gets
duplicated and the whole purpose of live queries is defeated.
