It is possible to delete all the criteria, and select something else, which results in the grayed “Search…” text appearing, but the * criteria isn’t updated since the empty criteria string hasn’t been committed. If there is a handler for defocus to test if the field is blank to commit the blank field, that would fix it.

Not sure how robust the search field is meant to be, but it would be nice to have a way to cross search. For example, there is no way to filter “Idle AND Server 2008”.

We would probably want this to be consistent whether the text was blank or not, so we should always trigger the search when it loses focus, or we should never do it. Our search box isn’t a “live” search, meaning it only responds to pressing Enter or pressing the X button. That being the case, it feels a bit weird having a search triggered when clicking somewhere else, so we will probably leave the functionality as is for now. At least you can still tell by the counts in the upper left of the list that information is still filtered out.
-
The new filtering system is meant for these more advanced searches. Just click on the arrow button in the upper left of the list and select Edit Filters. You can add all sorts of filters to drill down into the data. You can also select Clone Filters to make a copy of the current list’s filters and then filter more.
