Bruce Kieffer Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Some search boxes are filters. Those are great. Others like this are not, that is bad. As I type the list should show less results (filter). Quote Link to comment
0 Andy Broomell Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 To clarify what I think Bruce is saying: In this particular Viewport Class Properties pop-up, you must hit enter before any search results are shown, whereas in other places search boxes automatically begin showing the results as you type. There doesn't seem to be a clear reason for this inconsistency. This has been commented on several times since list search was implemented years ago, so I think it's about time to implement Bruce's suggestion - it's a good one! (Correct me if I'm wrong, Bruce, but you're not talking about the "Filters" dropdown at all, right? Just the immediate feedback of Searching...) 3 Quote Link to comment

It may be called Dynamic Filtering, but I have always called it filtering. I have used it on my web pages. 3 Quote Link to comment

Some search boxes are filters. Those are great. Others like this are not, that is bad. As I type the list should show less results (filter).
