Ok, i think the Search function could be improved greatly, in the following ways:
1) Add an option to move operation to "Background" (as eg for unzipping, etc).
2) Add an option to "pause" search (currently, there is only a "stop" option)
3) Cache the name of all files of the disk (during a search) and store them for the next search (or an option in the "general" tab to search cached/stored filenames first). Currently, when i'm searching for file1, TC scans the whole hard disk. After a while, i search for file2, and then again TC scans the drive again. As far as i am concerned, in about 99% of my searches, no important changes have occured in files between two of my searches. This would save a LOT of time (secs instead of minutesssss).
Not sure if someone has suggested the above before, but those are my two cents.
Search for files: Background, Pause, Cache

TC already does that by using Windows' disk cache system.3) Cache the name of all files of the disk (during a search) and store them for the next search

Not efficiently though; or at least, so it seems.petermad wrote: TC already does that by using Windows' disk cache system.
I would much prefer it if TC kept itself a stored cache of filenames that would last more (because currently,whatever it uses, lasts only for a little while, then again scans the hard drive, as i explained before).
