PS, as a side issue, it's not quite accurate to call Umlaut/Find It a "script".
Among programmers that term is usually reserved for fairly small, simple,
standalone, software code. It may be my own unreasonable peeve, but I kind

and maintain as a 'script', would appreciate it if you call it 'software'
or 'a program' in the future, just as a favor to me, thanks!

standalone, software code.
