feature request: search ui improvement

[mailinglists35]

I would expect an ideal search to look like this:

• a search bar integrated at the top - not a separate search window - placed between the menu bar and the rest of the interface. results would be shown in a three row scrollable space that would expand immediately below the search results bar (exacly like how "everything search" free software does)

• results would filter out items in the left panel tree, so a search for "notify for download" will filter out everything in the left panel tree except the following structure: Windows components -> Windows update. I would expect to see nothing else but the results in their places in the tree

that's how i imagine the heaven of gpedit that Microsoft never cared to improve :)

I would also love to see this

A fuzzy search or at least partial matches would also be nice so that "hist" would find "history"

@eugenesvk, you can use the * and ? DOS-style wildcards to search for a partial word.

Is there a way to make partial search the default?
