more Mac-like Search options?
« on: October 06, 2006, 01:13:47 PM »
Just wondering if you might be able to expand the SEARCH function to allow for more Mac-like search results, i.e., instead of showing all files and highlighting the search results with a green icon, allow us to only see the files in the search results. Otherwise, if I want to perform an action on all the matching files I still have to manually command-click each file, whereas if I saw only the matching files I could select all with a shift-click.

Maybe if people really like the green highlighting, offer the Mac-like search results as an option under preferences?

thanks!

Oh boy, you missed the Search menu options?

Click on the down-arrow next to the Q in the search field to reveal an 'Apply As Filter' option. Enable it.

Additionally, the menu will list all your recent searches (if any) plus a 'Clear' option to remove the recent search entries.

Good ?
