The usage of CTRL-F in a clippings file is extremely slow. It does takes 20 secs or so for each letter. What is the status of this?
Thanks,

John,
I have same issue on my netbook, TBH I have never searched clippings before..
The delay is in its filtering the records incrementally based on each letters pressed, and gets faster the more you type in, (at least for me)
I think rather than incremental search this would be faster/better with a normal edit and find button, but thats just my opinion.
if you have loads of clippings you could always create a new file for a topic, and drag drop clips into it, it may speed things up..

EDIT: if incremental search could begin after the second/third key press, it should speed things up a lot.
I've never liked the way Ctrl+F find works in Notes and Clippings, as a filter rather than a true Find command. It might make sense if they had a feature for tagging clippings and notes, and you could filter them to only show ones that matched a particular tag (as long as they sped it up from the way it works now). But trying to find the actual place where a particular word or phrase is mentioned in your notes or clippings using this filter-find feature is a pain when you've got notes or clippings longer than one or two lines. You end up having to visually scan for it after all, possibly among several notes/clippings if your word matched more than one.
There is an open case on the issue, and I've added this thread to it.
