Ok, that's good. Thanks for narrowing it down Tibor. Since it's my fault it's broken, I'll take time to diagnose and figure out what I did, and try to repair the damage in BibEdit. But I won't be able to get to it until at least next Wednesday. In the meantime, Christopher, if you need to work on this the methods I mentioned in my last email are the right place to look. The most likely source of the fault is that the return type of one of the bibknowledge.* calls changed (they were inconsistent with their documentation and database schemata, so I corrected them) and it probably just needs a couple of variable assignments swapped. At least, if I recall correctly. Since this is in the Javascript, you can step through with debugger in Firebug to watch it work once on 76f8c51 and then again on dbbc8d6 and I would imagine the fault will jump right out at you. Or wait a while and I'll get back to it when I can. I'm afraid I still can't give advice on the actual setup of the autocomplete feature in invenio-local.conf; I've never done it before. Joe
