Feature request: incremental object search box

[walterheck]

Hello,

I have a feature request: Our database is growing rather large. Looking for the right object to view or edit becomes more and more time-consuming.
What if we had an incremental search box in the toolbar, where we could just start typing, and a list similar to code completion with all objects whose names match the entered text is in a dropped down listbox (a la google search suggestions). This way it would be very fast and easy to get to the desired object.

An extra addition could be configurable actions for when the enter key is hit when you have found the desired object. I would like to be able to choose whether I would want to query data for a table, or view the structure of the table itself (this pref. could be different for different people with different roles).

Kind regards,

Walter Heck

Just start to typing into Program/Sql/... Window and press F6. Then continue to type. If you find and select the desired object then right-click and "View" or "Query data"

I know code completion, but it's not exactly what I want. Using cc means I have to have an open window that I can actually write in in order to get to my desired object. A serachbox would be many times faster.

A Find Database Objects window works that way.

More or less, yes. Only, after it has suggested the first match and you keep on typing, it will not suggest other matches.

Also, I would love to see this available on the toolbar. Kind of like Google toolbar I guesss, but then inside PL/SQL developer
