Feature Request: Search Highlighting

(1/3) > >>

echamp1:
I've always wanted something like this and wondered if MC might be able to do it...

Would it be possible to highlight the text in the view pane as it is typed into the search box?  I'm thinking something similar to Firefox's "search as I type" feature where matching text results are highlighted on a webpage.  I would love it if MC could show me the matching text results in each file as I type into the search box.  Many of my files have scattered data throughout the various tag fields and I have a hard time locating specific text strings; if they were highlighted, it would be easier to find and edit them when necessary.

Hope you guys can do this!

Thanks

After you search, try editing "on screen".  Slow double click on the field you want to edit.  When you finish, use up or down arrow to edit the same tage in the next file.

Doof:
That really isn't what he was asking, Jim.

Matt:
I think this would be kind of neat.

echamp1:
Yeah, that wasn't what I was asking.  I know I can edit tags quickly the way you mentioned.
What I'm hoping for is the ability to see where the searched text is throughout all the various tags in each file.  I tend to write a bunch of metadata in the Comment field of my tags, so that I can create genre/category smartlists easily, but editing the information can become difficult when songs have more than one category type written into the comment field.

Here is an example of what I'm thinking would be a great way to implement this feature.

I can quickly glance at the view pane above and find all instances of the word "piano" throughout.  This makes it easy to edit that specific word in each tag because I don't have to go hunting for it.
