Removing auto-complete entry

kurtmweber
At some point, I must have neglected to hit the down arrow to highlight the right autocomplete suggestion, and now I've got a lone "E" at the top of my autocomplete list for the Language field, which means an additional keypress to get to what I really wanted. My understanding is that removing all instances of a single letter "E" in the Language field should remove it from the autocomplete box, but I've run an "Advanced Search" for exactly that (triple-checked that I was looking in the right field, that I had the right conditions, etc.) and found no such instances.

Nevertheless, "E" persisted.

How can I remove it from the list? Is there something I'm overlooking?

    I have a plan for that: empty your trash, and if you have any group libraries, check those as well. (Autocomplete will currently pull from all instances of the field, both in the trash and in other libraries. But it's a direct DB lookup every time with no cache, so if you're getting this, that value does exist somewhere.)

    That was it, thanks!
