Well, I think I said it all in the subject line.


Pleeeeze pleeeze 


Anyone else that want this too please add a post in this thread with "+1", "me too" or "hell yeah" 

[kstuart]

+1 definitely - especially the "larger" part (although I realize that there is not unlimited space).

Oh a huge +1 or even a +1000 here.

I have been hoping for this for a long time. With today's wide screen monitors - I do not understand the need to devote the foot or so of space currently given to the the "display" area.

Ideally - I would love to see a "sizer" bar between the "display" and search area that would allow the user to size the two areas in in context of one another.

Surely with the v18 switch away from the Microsoft foundation classes/libraries - dev could now consider implementing a solution to give us more a single inch of non-sizable space to search? I use search a lot and as it is now - it's usable - but barely.

-1

If the layout is kept a bigger search field would bring a smaller playing now display and seekbar. I have MCs display configured to show many infos inside the display, so it sometimes needs all available space. I see that there are some good reasons for a bigger search field, but for me it's big enough, so I'd prefer to leave it as it is.

But:

This would be a nice and handy addition

Adding history to the search would be a Mega +1 for me.

A larger size search box would be a benefit too, especially if it could accommodate a larger font...

Wow, what a rush of requests, a stampede, a tsunami.... or not 

[MusicBringer]

Oh I didn't know there was a search field 
It is so small I didn't realise it was there.
It obviously needs to grow/shrink with the size of the text displayed.
Esp when your eyesight is not what it was.
So I agree: Please make the search field larger and add history. Pretty pretty please

Yes - I have never understood the JRiver design angle to this...I mean a 1 inch search box?

It would be almost more beneficial to move the search panel to the bottom or have it "pop up" at the bottom as needed (Ctrl-F) - sort of like how Firefox does it....

But definitely needs more space to type more than one or two words....

+1 on both of those ideas !

[magnust]

Have this ever happened to you:

You enter a search, for example an artist you want to play. But no results are found because you are in a library view that is only showing a part of your full library. The "click here to search your full library" does not show up since it's... well I don't know why but it happens a lot.

So you click another library view that will enable you searching for the artist.

And now the search box is empty and you need to enter the full artist name again manually  I wish there was a simple history drop down like in web browsers and other programs.

Yes, it happens a lot. Grrhh.

Try F3
Needs a bigger box too

[magnust]

Try F3

Wow. That one was a surprise! Pretty good!

It works very differently to the normal search. The normal one in the upper right corner works like a filter. And the F3 as a search. But what does "find all" actually do in the F3 case? Didn't understand that.

+1 But it doesn't display results. Rather it's a "step through" kind of thing - oddly - exactly like Firefox

Not really of much use without being able to quickly hone in on a result - but might come in handy now and then.

Thanks for the tip!

[Supersnake]

Feeling nicely warm and fuzzy....think tanks do that I guess.

[contium]

Bigger search box please. F3 doesn't really work that well.
