Funny you mention this. I have a client who just addressed similar  
concerns.  They have some content types (like the image media library)  
where they have hundreds and/or thousands of content items.  When  
going to the listing page in the webtop, they find it difficult to  
search for items (to know if they are about to upload a duplicate item).

It's a simple fix really (but a feature request for Daemon).  At the  
top of the listing page is a filter option.  Currently it only allows  
you to do a SQL like search on the label field.  But ideally it would  
be great if it allows you to have more options.  Using the metadata  
from the content type, FarCry could build an advanced search form to  
filter by all the search criteria (including categories).   
Additionally the keyword search could detect and use the verity plugin  
to search all of the text fields (an option that already exists when  
using the "open library" feature for assigning one-to-one and one-to- 
many content relationships).

The best part about this is that it can be used on all content types  
(on their listing page).

Thoughts?  Is this a feature request that others would find useful? Am  
I way off base to your original request? :)
