I'm not sure what's the goal of this request. Obviously, CC is displayed as in-code pop-up because it's effect directly relates to one position in the code, which does not apply to QuickSearch. I sort of suspect that this request may be related to current limited functionality of QuickSearch. The single-purpose "Go To Type" feature opens a pop-up, the same for "Go To File". If QuickSearch is seen as combination of "Go To Action" and "Go To Type" (which it currently is, but other areas are planned), it is understandable that for the reason of consistency, users would like to see a pop-up window. However, for cross-IDE search which QuickSearch is hopefully going to become in the future, upright corner is absolutely standard position across many software products. Further, the "fancy toolbar component" may be subject of complaints as it is almost impossible to set and keep to the desired place. I suggest to wait and re-evaluate this enhancement after we implement more search areas and after we will have fixed location for the search field. If it will be still requested, we can do it. Until then, lowering to P4. Well .. lowering to P4 now. For explanation see the paragraph above. |
