Smart-refresh of Search on Labels/Tags

Hi'
A question about the way Search Results tabs are 'updated'.
You've already added some smartness to the 'auto-refresh' of Search Results, so that after a Name search (left open):
- any item (file or folder) is removed from the Search Results view, as soon as it ceases to be relevant: by mean of rename or move/delete.
- any item is added to the Search Results view, as soon as it becomes relevant: by mean of rename or move/copy.

Do you think it would be possible to add the same smartness to a Labels/Tags search?

Cases:
1. It's really handy to 'flag' items with colored Labels in a ToDo way (e.g. with three states of priority), switch them from one state to the other, and unLabel them when done.
2. Using Tags, we already have a 'scrap pane' of sorts, i.e. do your 'shopping' by choosing and tagging each file you need wherever they are, then run your Tag search - anytime - and you have your whole list ready to work with/move/remove/add more, etc. (automated by a script, it's a killer feature!)

So this is already working really well, but seeing the Search Results 'list' updated when items are (un)tagged or (un)labeled would be a huge plus!!! :whistle: :kidding:

Well, thanks for your attention... :biggrin:

General note: I read wishes, but will not reply nor add any more features until the multilingual support is finished.

Maybe not, but there are other things first...

Wow, whenever its possible, would be extremly cooooool.
But I hope there is no misunderstanding. I am talking about the kind of auto-refresh without having to rerun the whole search again, that would probably need some sort of file system monitoring.

And here is also a further question:

This statement of FluxT is not really true, is it? There is no real auto-refresh at the time for either find files nor quick name searches, or did I not find it for the latter?
The only way how any search results get refreshed is by performing the search again, which could also be triggered by changing the tab, if the results are not cached.

Am I right?

Correct, this has been changed for some reason.
