Hi Jim,
Maybe this wasn't clear to you, but this is simply an *alternative* to the current Quickfilter toolbar - it creates a separate, standalone searchbox widget that would behave according to the demos Thomas has created.
The existing toolbar would not be affected by the implementation of this bug in the least.

Not sure what you mean, but this bug is complicated enough without adding a third option... but by all means feel free to open a new bug/feature request...
> Visually, I'm not a fan of the floating bar,
If it can be coded the way Thomas' demo is, it would be optional...

In my opinion, having a UI widget make you pause for a second or two to understand how it works the first time you use it is simply not a problem - as long as it does only take you a second or two to figure it out, which I think most people would be able to do with this.
