Hi Georgi, Does that mean you are back on the lists? :) Great API - congratulations! A suggestion would be to add some form of disambiguating description to the keyword completion. If I type "Scarlet" then the completion options look something like: Scarlett Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Scarlett Scarlett Johansson ... Scarlett Johansson Each of the four Johansson entries seems to bring up a different display but it's hard to work out which is the right one to use and the order is unpredictable.
