Enhancement Request: Search Bar

[ScottMattes]

With the bar docked at the bottom of the screen, and the results window showing, and its height about 3 or 4 rows high, the bar is divided neatly in half, with lots of wasted space on the left (search entry) side. When I resize it smaller, hoping to just get the icons to wrap under the entry box they do, but the entry box gets smaller and the icons come up in 2 rows vice the 1 row that I was aiming for. I didn't make it so small that the entry box needed to resize.

I think that as I play with it my FindAll plugin will need to be removed as redundant.

I'd also like to be able to dock the Search List INSIDE the Search bar. I was playing with the docking and find that if the Search Bar is docked to the Object Browser window there is a lot of wasted space that the Search List would fit perfectly into.

Thank you.

In FindAll I couldn't get the function to work to transfer control to the edit window when I click on a line in the search result, which ended up just fine for the way I work, I can click one of the search result lines, the edit window position gets updated and I can then cursor up/down through the search results.

Search Bar transfers focus to the editor and line where the find was made, which means having to click back into the Search Results for the next line. I'd like an option to specify whether clicking in the Search List changes focus OR I'd like to be able to assign a key that could switch to the Search List (I can assign Search Bar to a key, tab from there to the Search List and can cursor up/down, but that doesn't change the editor display, nor does pressing Enter).

makes sense. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.
