Hmm -- the search panel emulates an extremely quick press of a button, which means that most protocols won't get the chance to repeat a command. The protocol being used by Cambridge / Creative is the ever-popular "NEC"; that one does have two different mechanisms for repeating a command. I'm using the repeat mechanism that all my sources agree on, but my sources aren't the greatest.

One thing you could try is to see if pressing the power button _very_ quickly works better than pressing and holding it; if the repeat frames are the problem, fewer frames might mean less confusion.

Actually, let me throw together a quick update using the other repeat mechanism, and see if it helps...
