Isn't using a "totally different name" the exact opposite of what I wrote? :\ I was just trying to explain, if SwiftSearch isn't in the name, then it will look like your version is the original. 99% of users will not look inside Help->About; they just look at the software name. They won't have a clue what you're giving them is really SwiftSearch with some modifications.
Why not do "SwiftSearch (Robert Nio edition)" or something like that? That's what I suggested, not replacing the name entirely with your own.

Sorry for the missunderstanding. I understood that you wanted to prevent ANY confusion between the two versions ... thus using a VERY different name would do the trick.
Otherwise people will still contact you for things I implemented ... as the name is just very similar ...
people might think the "bug" might be in the core software ... and thus also an your side ...
I am OK to just name it the way you suggsted incl. all other changes to the code and only share binaries... if that is what you want.
Hope that works :)

Yes thanks, I'd appreciate that. I admit I might be wrong about this... but hopefully there won't be too many people who will come to me for bugs that you might have introduced. I guess I'll take the risk and see :-) thanks!
