Search for folder as I type and F3 to search for Next Match
Under Tools, Options, Import, I have ticked Select location when importing or pasting from other applications.
Thus when I have clicked Copy to Ultra Recall, a dialog box would appear allowing me to select the appropriate folder. Selecting a folder would be a cinch if I had say 5 folders, but after a while, I may have 100+ folders. And I may name the folders Software to Test Ultra Recall Tips Software General General hardware House Maintenance Software Freeware Books to read Software Miscellaneous Ideally, when I type software in the dialog box, it would start matching the characters as I type. So if I type Softw quickly, I would end up with Software to Test being matched. But what if I intended to go to Software Miscellaneous There's no simple way to tell Ultra Recall to go to the next match such as in Firefox by pressing F3 Likewise, it would have been nice if matching need not start with the first character. So for example, if I knew I had only the word Miscellaneous appearing in Software Miscellaneous, I could have just as easily just type Misc to get to the correct folder or for that matter cellan. Do take note that the folders could also be scattered in any order in the Dialog box - ie they are not necessarily ordered nicely. Actually, I should add that such a Search as you type enhancement should be there for all Dialog boxes or Pane - such as the Jump Dialog box or the Data Explorer pane Actually you will find this Search as you type not only in software like Firefox and Internet Explorer (although in IE's case, I think it is via the IE7Pro Add-in) in many other intuitively useful software that makes for a very friendly UI.
