Thanks guys.
I’ve now moved all my SFX from the firewire drive to an internal HD, but the problem is still there.
Mediabay keeps searching for files when I’m still typing the word (fast or slow typing) leaving out some of the letters of the word that I’m searching (doesn’t matter which word).
As I said before, trashing the prefs helps for a while (a few days, or a few hours) but the problem returns…
Any suggestions?
