FEATURE:
Witin the Move/Link dialog box, allow selection of a search filter.

USE CASE
One of UR's great strengths is that I can create a To Do task in my GTD inbox and then later assign it to a project. But when there are a LOT of projects the click and drag approach becomes cumbersome.


And the Move/Link dialog doesn't let you search. So, with potentially 100's of projects and thousands of folders, it's nearly impossible to navigate to the desired target location.

Perhaps a Search As You Type feature may be useful or perhaps more useful like you can enable in Firefox, and a F3 takes you to the next matching string in combination with a search Filter.

Or Are we essentially referring to the same thing.

Search as you type would be a "higher powered" version of what I wanted and would require additional code/features, I think.



I just wanted extend the existing search to the Move/Link dialog, which should be a lot less work than doing that AND addiing "search as you type"


I'd love to have both but would settle for existing search within M/L dialog.

I think ideally it needs to work like quick search - but restricted to item titles only - as soon as you start typing you filter the list to only those items matching letters/words in the search box...And as with quick search it can be letters or words anywhere in the item title - not just the correct spelling from the beginning of the title...

Actually it would be great if UR could implement a version of quick search for titles only as opposed to it being a type of advanced search....
