remove local file results from library file open dialog search

When I select "Spotfire Library" from the file open flyout, then type in a file name to search on, I get results from the file system. This is not expected, since I am searching the Library not the file system. This is confusing and many times I end up opening the wrong file. Included screen shot, and yes, this is for a Library search.


File system files should be removed from these search results.


Additionally, in the main file search flyout, the results should be separated into sections, one for Library files and the other for file system files, to further assist the user in locating the proper file for editing.


Also, file location should be visually differentiated so it is easy to see which files are shown. Perhaps use color for the name, and/or add the location to the results - there is certainly room for this info in the result layout.


thanks.
