Comment 5 for bug 667323

Didier mention in 2010 that this issue would be tackled for 11.04. Since then, however, there has not been any input.

In my humble opinion this should be target for 12.10. It has not become less of a usability issue since two years ago.
The way Unity can be used to find files now is really fantastic. It has come a long way and has sped up my workflow significantly.

The feature requested in this report would really close the loop though, and avoid the last few major flaws that I see in the current implementation.
