If it's to be THE big feature of Vn.8 then could we not have Search return more than just path/filenames?
Search now is sooo Norton Commander 1.0
Well.. the results are.
All we get are filenames; no common detail as in our standard panels - size, date/time, attribs, as a minimum. And the results are ephemeral; take one more step - and they're gone!*
Search, for instance, in Outlook, can now save the searches and treat them as virtual folders - with all the accompanying data you want. (Well.. not permissions, participants and ownership, but a lot.)
* Ok, Listbox, but that's not very persistent.
Version 8? WDS, GDS, Copernic - have all been around for a while now..
Re: insufficiency and danger: a search fn that misses things and is mute about doing so can be easily seen as providing a false sense of competence.
