Hi John

Yes I saw that, but it does a schedule search for programs matching 
people and other things. Then if you click one of the entries found, and 
select to record it, you still get a recording rule with SearchType 
None. It is just a way of searching the schedules.

If I go into mythweb and create a "custom recording schedule", "people 
search" and type Jennifer Aniston, I find that it has scheduled several 
hundred recordings, everything with Jennifer Aniston. Is this useful? 
How do I do it with the frontend?

John - while you are there - On my Ceton tuner if I schedule a recording 
on a premium channel that I do not subscribe to, instead of just 
failing, the log fills with thousands of messages as follows:

If I did this accidentally on my prod machine the disk may actually run 
out of space due to that log.
