This makes sense since the hit to narrow a query isn't usually a big
deal assuming the index isn't too massive to begin with.
Any chance this can be configured (or a wait time to let the user type a
bit more?) -- It does start to drag a bit on a really slow system while
the index searches faster then the GUI notices the user typing.
Yup -- Very cool implementation, since it "teaches" the observant user
about how to repeat that search without using the GUI.
It should be similar, since the * wildcard matches on "." as well.
However, *.* wouldn't match a file without an extension.
Interesting info, thanks (to the poster as well as you for bringing it
up)
- Generally you just type to make a search happen, there isn't a button to
start searching. As soon as you press a key we start searching so you don't
have to type the whole of a word you are looking for.

The exception to this
is when you have the advanced search checked in which case there is a Search
button. But note that the search button converts your advanced search
options to a query string and puts it in the main search box, which triggers
a search.

- Clicking the red 'X' should stop a search - if that doesn't work let me
know.
- As far as I can tell *.* works the same as * in filename searches.
It should be similar, since the * wildcard matches on "." as well.
However, *.* wouldn't match a file without an extension.
The wildcards * and ? do work on other properties also.
My co-worker Jonas has a
couple of blog entries which explain some of this:
