xyplorer with permanent search field like in explorer load-save-dialogue

[Clemens Ratte-Polle]

Hello.
The search is no good at xyplorer.
If i want the view of all files before search, i have to delete the search field search text AND press search again o_O
This is no good usability.

Could you please insert a little search field top right beside the file location?
When typing in a word it should show live instantly all hits.
This is comfortable like it is in the explorer load-save-dialogue.

It would be usefull

thx

May I offer a couple suggestions while your wish is considered by the developer, although not visible on the main screen, as an alternative if you are just doing mainly filename searches, have you tried Quick search? you can access it by pressing F3, or add the button to your toolbar, or Edit | Quick Search... menu item, and instead of emptying the search term box and running another search to look at your files again, you can just click the folder you are in in the breadcrumb bar to exit search results screen or by pressing the back button on the toolbar etc. You can also search the current path directly from the address bar by prefixing the file name you are looking for with a ? e.g. ?filename

F3 Quicksearch and normal search results vanisch by clicking in the tree on the folder where searching.
But that's not logical i think.
ESC-key and an X next to the search field to click the search away got to be there.
This is no big effort but would raise the usability to a next level

I think you need to check out the Live filter box too:
