In the windows preferences section of RDP there is a filter that helps find options that you can't remember exactly where they are.

I am finding that anything under the Remote Systems|IBM i section can not be found if you try to use this filter option. (Except "cache".)

For example, a new user here was trying to stop the RDP compiler sending everything to batch. There is a simple option for that in the preferences, but I couldn't remember where it was. When I typed "compile" or "batch" into the filter, nothing comes up. I eventually had to search each preferences section one by one. (Luckily it was the third or fourth preference section I tried.)

Is this just me? Does anyone else have difficulties in finding the useful but rarely used preferences options in the IBM i preferences section?

I'm tempted to write an RFE but if anyone else has done it already (I can't see it) or thinks this actually may be a bug then I would appreciate some input.

Google and friends have spoilt us by indexing all the text on every web
page. WDSC (what I use) and cousins RDi and RDP don't index every word
on every panel; only certain 'key' words are searchable.

Write the RFE so Rational will know that some people would like to see
improvement.
