How do you 'search again' with the scrounger tonic?

[bug3ater]

I've equipped the tonic 'scrounger' which allows you to 'search again' for a differnt set of items you get from bodies, containers, etc. I'm trying to figure out how the heck to do this.

In the console version of Bioshock1, you search a container with 'a' then the options come up 'a' to take and 'b' to search again.

In the PC you push 'f' to search but 'search again' isn't mapped to anything although is shows up as an option. How in the heck to you do this? It isn't mapped anywhere in the options. If there is a way, you'd have to experiment and waste time not to mention getting frustrated. I wasted a good 10 minutes of my time trying to figure this out in game and writting this post.

Things like this lead me to believe that this is a lazy console port. Although you could finish the game without it, it would be nice to actually be able to use it. On top of that,
If there was 360 controller options like the first one, this wouldn't be an issue as BS1 had exact controls as the 360 version. Another example why PC folk get shafted on a lazy console port.

hit R, that's how it worked in the previous one, which seems to be the only way to know this.

I just figured this out after wasting another 10 min killing spawing splicers. It's 'x'. It isn't even mapped to any key in the options.

Thanks for the frustration 2K Games!

Scratch this. ShadeDragon is right. It is 'r'. 'x' takes the last item.

Yea, it's R.

Sorry to gravedig this thread, but it's got valuable information :)

Does anybody know any other loot commands?

We've established that X takes the items from the bottom up, but what about if you want from the top down? Or just the middle one?

In the profile folder C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock2 there is a file called user.ini. In this file under the [ContainerUIActive] section there is a keybinding for "R=ReRollContainer". By moving "ReRollContainer" to an empty keybinding you can re-assign it in game if you change your keybindings from the defaults.
