I'm reasonably confident that I'm of at least average intelligence, but my adequate gray matter is not preventing me from constantly losing things in OF. I can't be the only one with this problem. Am I the only one with this problem?

Something is wrong with the UI for views and searching, because I am routinely smacking myself in the forehead after five-minute wild goose chases for some action that I was SURE I had entered into OF.

This morning, I just spent a full half hour rummaging through backups because I simply could not find a project that I thought had truly disappeared from the database. In fact, it was simply obscured by a byzantine combination of view settings.

I think it is absolutely necessary to have some way of searching not just the current view, but the whole database. There are many, many circumstances where I really want to find something in the database NO MATTER WHAT the current view is. Not only is this just important functionality, but it seems to be an important defense against OF's tendency to create the appearance of "lost" data.
