XYplorer has a such a great search function, but its so dang annoying sometimes, when you right click on empty space and click "find files" shouldn't it add the current path to the search locations? or maybe you can add a option "find current location", its really annoying to keep having to add paths in, also on right click menu (for example right click on folder on the tree menu) can you add a option for search / find, even windows explorer has that :X and it would add the current location to the find, i swear if you did this it would be the greatest program ever.
i try to hold off on posting and go through all the options, but since i couldnt find any and i use find alot, this really got to me :X
you also cant drag and drop folders to the Location field (it should auto fill in the path, (kinda like how if you drag a folder to command prompt it will paste the path in))
i work in programing and web development and i have tons of source code so adding every drive to the search location would be a bad option for me since it could take hours to finish a search, i like doing targeted searches.

Re: Find Files- context menu, functionality needs improvement
hmm.. did you try option "Auto-sync" available on Find Files, below the Location field ?
If you enable it, then every time you change location the FF Location field is updated to the current location, which seems to be what you're looking for, no?

Make sure the Auto sync checkbox is checked in the Find tab. That should do what you're looking for.
