#66 grep on program list

[Anonymous]

small search option for names of programs could be
helpful. Just by pushing F a dialog box can appear and
I can put phrase I want to find in list of programs.
Another option..
Just simple search in list of programs, simmilar to
total commander -> can be configured so that when I
push keyboard key e.g. o -> the marker on list is
marking opera (if opera appears on list).

Bumping this feature request up with a comment.

There is a common mechanism for doing this sort of thing in many existing tools including vim, Firefox, less, screen, etc. "/" initiates a forward search and "?" initiates a reverse search from the current position. A successful hit would select the task, ready to receive a task management command; and a subsequent "/" or "?" would find the next match in the appropriate direction (wrapping if necessary). Other tasks that contain the matching string could have just their matching string(s) highlighted without becoming selected.

Another mode of this feature could automatically mark all of the tasks that contain the matching string. A use case for this would be to put a keyword in the title of all of the windows you are using for a particular project your are working, then "search-mark" for that keyword and hit F6 (or "<") to restore all of them.

And I'd be willing to put up a $100 bounty to whoever successfully implements this feature as I've described it (or functionally equivalent).
