This way user can just start typing a few characters in the name of the database.. Also, we could dynamically adjust the current "minimum 30 databases" limit on fast-filter feature, to enable fast-filter whenever the databases list is long enough that it goes down below the visible page height.. -- Atul Pratap Singh http://blog.atulsisodia.in/
