Thread: global search?
View Single Post
I think this has already been submitted as a feature request and is planned for a future release. In the mean time, you can select the Library folder in the sidebar to search the whole library. If you want to include items that are completed, dropped, etc., you can use one of the default perspectives to show everything (Perspectives -> All Items) and then do the search.

I'm all for making it easier to search across the entire database. But I also like being able to narrow my search down to a particular item in the sidebar. Sometimes that extra bit of control is very useful. So that capability should definitely *not* be removed.

As for search not working on folder names, I never actually noticed that. I've only got about a dozen folders, though, so it's just not that important to me.
