FR: Filtering isearch candidates #27

Open mikavilpas opened 11 years ago

mikavilpas commented 11 years ago

This is a feature request for the following use case:

The user has a popup, with a lot of elements in it. He/she would like to match a part of them at a time, each time filtering the remaining candidates with a new search.

Example:

The user has these words in his/her popup:

to match words starting with "sc" the user can isearch for "sc". Then the user would like to match words with "led" in them, so the user performs another search for "led". The remaining match is "scrolled".

The words were taken from:
