 Hi,

 

The search box for filtering - recently implemented in the Options dialog - was a nice improvement in terms of functionality and interface.

 

I'd suggest to extend and implement this functionality to other IQ dialogs. For instance, below there is an image prototyping the filter over the "Add Columns" dialog.  

In many dialogs, the find-as-you-type already works, but to have a search box that "filter" content improves significantly the usability, and (new) users will see at a glance that content is searchable.

Cheers,  

Carlos

If many users like what this has done for the options dialog, shouldn't implementing it for the quick in-grid search be a priority (to improve / visualize the Ctrl-F3 search)? Of course, I'll be happy to see this on other dialogs as well.

Indeed, I use the one for Options all the time. Such a great suggestion !
