Yes, that is right, I just mentioned this because, often when I am searching for a selector and find a list with > 100 entries with partially matching the term I searched, I am scrolling through the list until I remember: "Wait, I can narrow the result by typing another search term". > > And presumably if I then wanted to do the same two term search for > classes, I would need to CMD-LeftArrow, arrow up several times, > CMD-RIghtArrow and type the second term again. > > It seems less friction if I could just type both terms on the first page, > and get all search types (i.e. classes/implementors) matching both terms. > The paradigm of a web search. > Of course, that would be great. > cheers -ben > >
