Hi, What do you mean by the old version of Spotter? Just in case: you should know that Spotter is made to be extensible. This means that if you want to play with your own way of searching for objects, you can just do it. Let me know if you to try and if you need help in this direction.

Is there any way to change back to the old version of Spotter in Pharo 4?

So by default the search tool is only guaranteed to return an exact term match if there are only less than 5 non-exact match results?
Yes

when I hit shift+enter and type 'accept' I get things that are not #accept, e.g. #accept: and AbstractAcceptor.
If I add a space after accept it doesn't help.
What do I not understand?
the result list is not sorted and the result list is built by all methods having the query string as part of its selector name.
Yes this can be improved and it is not difficult, for example you can add this method to
GTFilterImplementor>>applyFilterWithQuery super applyFilterWithQuery. items sort: [ :a :b | (self itemFilterNameFor: a) size < (self itemFilterNameFor: b) size ]
this will sort the result list by the size of the selector name. So,
if
there is a perfect match, it will be listed first. (BUT only in the implementors category if you "dive-in", not in the 5-elements-result-preview-list).
Maybe there is a better way without sorting. (We can modify applyFilterWithQuery for the implementors filter, to put perfect matches at the begining of the list).
But all this is not easy to discover. Spotter classes make some heavy use of delegation, many operations are split and delgated to subclasses (GOOD!) many classes aren't documented (BAD!) and this makes it really difficult to catch how all this is supposed to work together.
