Live Filter Box - a bit more useful

Post by Irwin of Upton »

Understand that by design Live Filter Box is meant to be transient. But in my use of it - great feature - it would be a tad bit more useful if it had a Drop-Down list of recent searches.

Thoughts of others?

IMO it's a nice difference to the standard Visual Filter interface. And it's totally en vogue to not remember stuff. Think of Snapchat, Instagram...

Just because somebody else jumps off a cliff doesn't mean you should to.

No, really, you got Visual Filters with all bells and whistles. No need for double bells.

Bump this...

I too want a drop-down to remember past entries on Live Filter. I use LF much more than Visual Filters because I can just start typing there, and because it is live - so I can instantly see the effects of my entries. VF is powerful, but slower to use. That's exactly why LF is popular. This seems like a simple way to enhance it further. I'd certainly use it.

Live Filter is so cool because it is so easy. I will not enhance it and make it heavier.

Too bad, I like the idea - maybe an autocomplet? :roll:
