Better faster searching in Spotfire Analyst, and parity with Web Player

Searching the library in Analyst takes an inordinate amount of time for large libraries. We find it almost useless. It disregards the folder that user is currently in, thus, the entire library is searched. Every time regardless of the current folder. Searching in the Web Player, (File > View Library) is local to the current folder and subfolders.

First, there should be parity between them for this fundamental operation. Second, it should be local - like the WP searching. This gives the user the opportunity to pare down the search space, if possible, by navigating to some parent folder that might be on the path, and prune out paths not needed.

You also need to speed up library searching in general - it's painfully slow.

Additionally, there is a limit on results, so you cannot get all results either, which is awful. Why can't you page through results?

thanks.
