Quicksearch current Location folder [#8933]

Post by Peter Panino »

"Quicksearch current Location folder" apparently always searches inside the Location node of the current collection. This is undesirable because it often does not show all the elements in the current Location.

How can I make "Quicksearch current Location folder" always search inside the "Entire Library" collection? (Or even better: Inside the "My Computer" collection).

Being able to set Find More from Same to search Entire Library instead of Current Collection would be useful: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8933

Lowlander, thanks for filing the issue at Mantis. In fact, from the user perspective it seems simply logical to use the option 'Entire Library'.

I'm pretty sure that for many it doesn't make sense as they might not want Podcasts and Videos show up when searching Music files. That's why an option to choose between Current Collection and Entire Library makes sense.

When searching 'More from the same Album' there wouldn't appear any videos or podcasts, because when starting the search from an album song this album would contain only music songs anyway.
