Find and Run Robot is a program for keyboard maniacs - it helps you rapidly find programs or documents from within the depths of the start menu (or other directories). One keypress launches the utility - then just start typing the first letters of the application you want to launch. As you type the best matches are shown - just hit the number to launch the associated program.

[bug fix] showmemo command now properly converts multiple \n when displaying in text memo results
Added showfile command to show contents of a file into text memo results
[bug fix] All keyword modifiers are now forced to lowercase since mixed case resulted in failure to match when searching
You can now use PgUp, PgDn, ArrowUp, ArrowDn to scroll result memo view
[bug fix] Using dashes in search should work now as long as it isn't of the form [SPACE]-WORD which will be treated like a work to exclude from search
[bug fix] Virtual folder replacements now intelligently handle \ directory separators, so you can write for example %FARRDIR%\scripts or %FARRDIR%scripts. This bug fix also fixes the case where cpanel items were shown twice
Added check-for-updates to plugin manager form
Added option to stop search on regex match, and default stop search on exact alias name match to false
[bug fix] alias files were sometimes getting extraneous fields saved in them
Added option to disable the +action modifier result replacement, where when there is only 1 result and you use a +action modifier, the result shows the action modifier text instead of the normal result text
A dosearch virtual launch string that is blank will now show history of past launched files
[bug fix] Double quotes were being lost on url searching

Latest Alpha (v2.08.02)

Version 2.71.01 - July 12th, 2009
· [BugFix] Icons for shortcut links with custom icon settings were not being shown properly due to change in v2.70.01; hopefully now this is fixed and the previous x64 shortcut/icon fixup stuff is still working.

Version 2.70.01 - July 7th, 2009
· [BugFix] Using the igo alias multiple times could result in an error about "Resource In Use" for users with old versions of Internet Explorer 6 installed.
· [BugFix] Attempt to fix icon display and launching for some .LNK shortcuts (especially x64 programs on x64 OS); let's see if this breaks anything for other users.
· [BugFix] Clarified the statusbar display during initial searching.
· [MinorFeature] Program now checks file existence of previous launch history on startup which should avoid the delay on first search.

Version 2.75.01 - July 21st, 2009
• [Minor Feature] Attempt to speed up first display by pre-checking file existence in history.

Version 2.72.01 - July 17th, 2009
• [Minor Feature] You can now use the dolaunch alias command (which launches a result without user having to hit enter),
to restart the search, and simulate them pressing enter using \n.
• [BugFix] The dolaunch alias that was used to show an html page was clearing the page before it could be seen.

Version 2.77.01 - August 26th, 2009

* [BugFix] - Changing skins preview while options dialog was open sometimes showed larger window than it should.
* [BugFix] - Triggering toolbar button with .lnk file argument was not resolving the lnk.
* [BugFix] - Farr was showing more results than it should if an alias used the dosearch action.
* [BugFix] - Alias action modifier launching was not working.
* [BugFix] - When launching alias results that were .lnk files, the /showmax type alias arguements were not obeyed.
* [MinorFeature] - some options moved to new tabs in options.

* [BugFix] - When option to use numpad keys to launch was set, numpad keys could not be used for memo/html mode typing of numbers (which hindered their use in calculator plugins for example).
* [MinorFeature] - Using the paste special alias command now pastes \r\n when the \n constant is found in the paste text.
* [Feature] - You can now customize the result background color for the main results window.
