Hi Brad!

I wondered if it was a search feature. GTK!...  OK...  but... just tried
clicking in the Rule box which has a long list of rules.  Ah-ha! In this
case, it only works on the Name column.  Is there a way to use it in the
Rule column?  That's where I'm always hunting...  The Name rarely
contains what I'm looking for.  Also, this search only matches the
beginning of the Name, so I haven't found a way to match a name which
contains the search string beyond the start...

A tad helpful feature; but rather limited from what I've tried so far.

Thanks for the clue,
Pierre
