I would stay with "Google like Quicksearch" since that is how it has been known all along. Less confusing.
chmod a+x /bin/laden -- Allows anyone the permission to execute /bin/laden

How do I un-overwrite all my data?

The discussion started in this german thread. There norfie² pointed to this Google statement.
German Google statement wrote:Integrieren Sie keine Google-Marken in Ihre eigenen Produktnamen, Servicenamen, Marken, Logos oder Firmennamen.
Google translate of Google statement wrote:Do not include Google trademarks in your own product names, service names, trademarks, logos and company names.
So I think I will rename it to "extended Quickfilter". In some places I will append a "(formerly Google like Quicksearch)" to it. (this topic & totalcmd.net download page)

Or do you have better suggestions but "extended Quickfilter"?

Its a little bit like Firefoxs Awesomebar. I also could name it Awesomequickfilter. :D

Actually, it's a Quick "Search" filter. Makes no difference what you name it as long as it works.

You might consider flipping the phrase around and call it "Quickfilter Extended". Sounds better to native English ears.

Other possiblilites:

[1] Quickfilter Plus

[2] Quickfilter Expanded

Thanks much for a useful plugin.

IMHO Camel case would be better so QuickFilter Plus :)

Thanks for all suggestions so far.
Never heard camel case so far. ;) (nice suggestion)

What do you think:
QuickSearch or QuickFilter?

1) QuickSearch: Because for historical reasons its called so in TC config->Quick Search?
2) QuickFilter: Because the new dll is almost useless without activating "ctrl+s".

I prefer QuickFilter.

The names I think of:
a) QuickFilter Plus
b) QuickFilter Expanded (or eXpanded)
c) QuickFilter Extended (or eXtended)
d) QuickFilter++
e) QuickFilter eXtreme :D

That's not true. In fact I seldom activate QuickFilter, but I use your plugin locating files all the time now.
So I prefer: QuickSearch Plus, or QuickSearch Pro?
Just my 2 cents.

2Samuel,
Is the Quick Search in TC called just "Quick"?

It doesn't matter what we say, you are going to name it what you think it should be. Why bother asking?

2vic2009,
Apparently, "search" must be too hard to spell for some. :roll:

Sorry. Until my last post only you were against "QuickFilter". I wanted feedback but only one feedback. (not very representive)

Made a second poll.

Also updated the main poll for two more names.

I voted in the 2nd poll but stayed out of the first one as there is no "Search" option in there at all.

The only reason I think "Search" should be included in the name is that verifies it is for the QS in TC and not something else. Otherwise, you are going to get questions as to where and how to use your add-on.

In the first poll I will only evaluate the appended words. Not the word QuickFilter itself.

So for now it will be "QuickSearch Plus".

Samuel, as you added me to the poll, I added you. :P
I did it because I wanted to have the new proposals marked red.

EDIT: I noticed that anybody can edit everything. So I removed Samuel Plentz and fixed m^2.
