? - how exactly does mine 'waste any space'? It is a pop-up, in the nature of a tool-tip. It might temporarily *block* part of the UI (toolbar and or window title bar) that is directly above where the user has placed the widget (which shouldn't be a problem for the reasons I posted), but it doesn't waste *any* additional screen real estate.
Most importantly though (as already outlined) is that it has two very real added bonuses that my original request (that Thomas was kind enough to create a XUL mock-up of) did not have:
a) you're able to see at a glance what the current filter criteria are
with zero clicks required, and
b) you can change them with a single click, as opposed to three clicks
Now to address the Off-Topic comments...

Apparently this is the confusion - this bug is *not* about 'a new implementation of the search bar' - it is about creating a standalone widget of the *current* Quickfilter toolbar.
Mike, please don't take offense, I've asked politely, but I am not going to argue with you about it. This is my bug, and I know exactly what I was requesting when I opened it, so I'm asking you to please respect that.
Do you not understand the concept of one request for one issue?
Do you not understand that the developers just might like the idea of this standalone widget, but NOT the idea of recombining the two searchboxes, so by insisting on combining the two you are reducing the chances of this bug being implemented? Or even vice versa?
Please feel free to go open a bug to recombine the GLODA searchbox and the quickfilter functionality if you are so inclined - and maybe I'll even go vote for it... ;)

And if you read all of the comments, you'll see multiple comments from me that while I was ok with the idea it wasn't the focus of this bug.
Thanks for understanding, and for your support for this bug...
