Well ... you can use the Escape key instead?
The thing is, after I press Enter and have the "focus results" option on, the panel has lost its focus and I have to use the mouse to close it. (or some tab action + escape)

Then use the key you mapped to the main menu entry for the toolbar + Escape.
Edit :Or better ... don't use "set focus ...." then escape alone will set focus.

I have slightly changed the way that the inline (playlist) selection works. It should now work like this :
  • If you have not selected "Autosearch" and not selected "Reset searchstring when successfull", the selection should be cleared whenever the search string is changed (after typing a character), and a new selection is made when you hit enter (provided that your search is successfull).
  • If you have not selected "Autosearch" and selected "Reset searchstring ...." the same behaviour applies and the searchstring is cleared anyway after a successfull search. The difference with the above situation is that (if your search is successfull) you will end up with a selection and a blank search string (because of the reset). To enable clearing the selection in this case I have added the Backspace Key to clear the selection.
  • If you have selected "Autosearch" the selection is cleared only when nothing matches or when the searchstring is blank (Note that "Reset searchstring ..." is neutralized by design when "Autosearch" is selected).
It seems a bit complicated but I believe it should satisfy the requirement for managing together the selection and the searchstring in the most appropriate and intuitive way, given the possible combination of parameters.
Can you (or others) please redownload from first post and confirm/comment this behaviour? Latest versions Numbers are 2.8c and 1.5c. Thanks.

frankly.... I don't understand anything with this plugin anymore

In my mind it's as simple as that:
1. pressing enter should clear the search string
OR
2. at least (using the panel version myself) when hitting Control + S (my shortcut) it should select the string so one could just hit enter for the same search or begin typing for a new search (no need for backspace and stuff)

(just the first impressions ... I'll get back to this later)

This plugin is close to perfect. I have only one wish. Could you please add the normal border state (defined by msstyle) to the list. This border is only used by the 'playback order' dropdown and the playlist dropdown plugin at the moment.

I posted this once before. The border is not currently drawn according to the msstyle.

Thanks for an otherwise awesome plugin.

I am not sur I catched your request. What is msstyle? I use WS_EX_STATICEDGE or WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE extended styles, and that seems pretty standard to me.

Msstyle is the file where the theme information is. If you want to change themes on Windows XP you run a msstyle file. Sorry, I don't know what code to use.  Perhaps this border isn't possible on simple text boxes. Though there is ONE I've seen in Firefox. Other than that the border is only default for dropdown and combo boxes. You have no plans changing the text field to a combo box right? :/

Great work! Great Plugin! The DB Search works fine!

One issue when searching in Database in conjunction with Autosearch: if you type a search string in the input field and then remove the letters one by one with Backspace or Del until the field is blank the whole database is displayed in the search results. This is a cool feature! But if you mark the whole search string in the input field and delete it by pressing Backspace or Del once the search results are kept.

Hmmm ... are you sure? At least with the latest version here no search is performed with a blank string. If you use the "Append search string to playlist name", the playlist name will tell you what is the last search that was performed. Can you confirm? Thanks.

you are right! I had disabled "Append search string to playlist name". So i thougt that the whole DB would be displayed if the input field was blank.

Now that the development of your wonderful plugin is almost to the end, if you ever start feeling bored.... why don't you have a look at QuickTag+SQL (now that Fermion has released the source code) and see if you, with your proved programming skill, can port it or build something similar from scratch?

P.S.

If you're not feeling bored, you could take it as a challenge... maybe.
And we'll be glad to support you sending you "a few cold ones" from the corner pub...

Thanks.

Nice job .. I like the delay and coloring if there are no songs with that string (error).

But I still have to press "J" two times if search is open, but not active (the first time closes it).
And also it would be nice to bind ENTER so that plays songs - now it just focuses on Foobar (you have to press it twice to play).
Can we expect to see QuickSearch placed in toolbar? (for non customUI users).

Very minor suggestion. Since the help page is only 2 pages long, why not make the buttons below the help text "Page 1" and "Page 2" instead of "Prev" and "Next".

But greeeeeat plugin thanks a lot!!!

I hit ctrl + f to access the search box, however when I do a search, then hit enter and do another search the cursor is at the end of the search terms. Is it possible to hit ctrl + f and highlight the old search terms or delete them completely without me having to manually delete them to perform a new search?

You can use the "Reset search string when successfull option" (and if needed recal your previous search from history).
The problem is that in the current implementation selecting the searchstring leads to problems when autosearch is active, beacause the string has to remain  for autosearch to work.

This plugin is close to perfect. So there are (for me) just two points or annoyments i like to mention:

1. In the newest version when you change the search domains from playlist to database and then back to playlist the command for inline search isn't checked anymore.

2. I am not so lazy that i don't like to hit "ENTER" two times for playing a track. But if your inline search highlights more than one track hitting "ENTER" doesn't play the track you've selected with up and down arrow buttons but the first of the highlighted selection. I hope that in a further release this could be changed. Absolutely great would be if we could use this foo_playlistfind typical behavior for autosearch in search result playlist: typing searchstring, selecting with up/down arrow buttons and playing selected track with "ENTER".

Correct .... I may change it in a future version with memorization of the "inline" parameter
But if your inline search highlights more than one track hitting "ENTER" doesn't play the track you've selected with up and down arrow buttons but the first of the highlighted selection. I hope that in a further release this could be changed. Absolutely great would be if we could use this foo_playlistfind typical behavior for autosearch in search result playlist: typing searchstring, selecting with up/down arrow buttons and playing selected track with "ENTER".

The behaviour depends on wether :
  • Autosearch is active
  • "Set focus to search results" is selected.
    In this case it is true that "Enter" will play the first track, but this is by let's say ... by design because once the focus is on the playlist area there is no way to control the selection (unless you reactivate the toolbar with the menu shortcut, in which case up/down arrows will still work.
In all cases, if the focus is on the toolbar, "Enter" will trigger the search wether Autosearch is active or not, and I am a bit reluctant to change it (Same action should produce the same results). So the way to mimic foo_playlist find is (provided that "Set focus to search results" is not selected): typing searchstring, selecting with up/down arrows, then "Escape"+"Enter" for playing the selected track.
