I've just updated to 23.1.50. I have "ido-mode" turned on. Ido mode
is great most of the time. I can do C-x C-f to open a file, and if
the file doesn't exist in the current dir, ido will find it in my
history. Really cool
But, sometimes when I try to open a file that I've somehow misspelled,
I get "Searching for <filename>" in the minibuffer and emacs freezes.
After about 2-3 mins (due to a timeout value somewhere I suppose),
emacs unfreezes and I can continue.
Anyone know how to avoid this, or somehow set the timeout to a
reasonable value?
Tks,
-T

I have encountered a similar problem. I reported it to Kim Storm with
no reply yet.
There is a package floating around called ido-hacks. It was posted to
this list, so you might find it in the archives. It seems to work.
