FR for RM - II

I've noticed that if you press a letter on the keyboard a search is performed on the Name column.
I also see the Name column can't be hidden, the two thinks must be related

Unless I'm missing something, it would be great if the search affected the column in focus, whichever it is. This would make searches faster.

What do you think?

Not sure I'm getting how this is related...
I'm not talking of something you type in the search field, but more like a page research on a browser, where the text is found anywhere in the page (see Firefox for example).
Try (having the focus outside the Search field) to type any letter

OT: the Search looks at "any" (as opposed to "all") columns.
For example, if in the RE you enter

lonestar connor

there're no results.
So the query is matched against each field.

Also, you can't refine your search: if you type

lonestar

and then

connor

they will be just considered as two independent queries; the results will include all the profiles made by Connor, not just the lonestar-based.

But I was talking about something different I guess

... Wouldn't it be nice to choose the column where the letter is searched?

I've seen that when you have thousands of rigs listed, sorting by column is not always practical: each centimetre you move the side slide to sweep through the list corresponds to hundreds of items, and finding an entry is not accurate at all: you have to go very slow otherwise you skip whole screens at once. Fixing a starting letter through keyboard would instantly put you "in the ballpark", so to speak

Thanks

Well, on my system (I've no accelerated video card) scrolling the RE via Page Down takes 14"...

Another consideration: if you make a search you're only shown the relative results, while scanning an ordered column by letter still shows all the files and just moves through them, which is more practical IMO.
