Hi guys,
We really appreciate Royal TS here at work. There is ONE feature that I would like to see improved : the FUZZY search.
We have *lots of connections* (currently more than 4000) in a shared document, and the FUZZY search simply returns too many results. For instance :
"srv003pap" returns to me :
* srv003.pap.grp (which is normal),
* srv003.epa.grp (which IS normal because "pap" is "fuzzily present" in ePA.grP, but annoying).
What makes it even worse is that fuzzy search will also expand and show the folders where the results are found, so sometimes you end up with a long list of useless stuff before even reaching the desired entry.
My idea would be :
* Keep the current fuzzy search option, it is easy and suitable for simple scenarios,
* Add regex as another search option.
Not everybody "speaks" regex fluently, but it's still the most efficient way to search accurately. And it's present in many common tools : Remote Desktop Manager to mention it, Notepad++, things like that.
Hope this all makes sense and you will consider it at some point !
