Is there something similar to trillian....
 

but has a good search function?

Just got the new computer now I gotta reinstall everything under the sun and I really don't like trillian. I need something that you can type in the first, second, third, letters of a name and have a list to choose from.

:helpme

GAIM is a similar application like Trillian but not sure though
about the search function feature. here's a bump

:smokin

I wonder if that's the one I'm thinking of... grr I wish I could remember. There was one that I saw in action and it was awesome.

It has to be able to load an icq list over over a thousand or two as well. Trillian is the only thing so far that will open my list.

Anyone else??

Thanks loverboy

how about Miranda?

:smokin

Miranda and Gaim are the two big programs similiar to trillian. I didn't like miranda personally.

Miranda! I think that was it!

WG why don't you like it. Do you use gaim?

Didn't like the feel of it and it kept disconnecting through my firewall for MSN. I went back to using the real ICQ, its still a little buggy but better than the other ones.

Qq
 

I have no problems with ICQ. works with all messenger programs pretty much.

just curious, what's the search feature do? search for contacts in your list?

ps. i just got new pc and also have to re-install everything. however, i heard there's a program that will copy all your old settings, programs, etc.. over to a new pc. i just started a thread looking for it. if anyone knows, please tell me/us the name.

always wanted to install trilian but i often encounter
severe connection problems so I ended up using
the standalone ICQ program

somehow, i was getting all sorts of errors upon installing GAIM

Morgan, yeah if you find it can you let me know? This is a royal pain in the ass.

Thanks! I went ahead and downloaded trillian. I can't use icq. Haven't been able to for a couple years cuz my list is so big. There's no way that I can delete enough either. I'm gonna snoop on this version and see if I can search the list at all.

hmmm, i use the old trillian (0.74) and have made groups with people in alphabetical order in them - never missed a search function :upsidedow
