On first read, I thought I'd concur. But looking it it some more, I think you'll need to associate the path with the file name. One way would be to display the complete path including file name. A little messy I think. And the window would be larger. My preference would be to place the path below the file name with a little offset for display clarity. Or different colours for filename and path. We'll likely have a smaller window, but would not necessarily prevent the need for scrolling. See screenie=option1) In advanced search, I would like to have a preferences choice to place the list of found files at the bottom of the window, instead of on the left side as now. That will allow the complete file addresses to be included in the view, without having to scroll sideways.
Would there still be need for an additional window?
Are you saying that you want to avoid clicking the All Files radio button?2) In preferences, I would like an additional option on setting the default 'Where to search'. I have found that I mostly search for files in System files or All files, not in Personal files which is default.
