I replaced it in my AltBrowser by the finder toolbar without package selection: if the browser instance is scoped to a package (or a class), then all finder searches are limited to that package (or class, or set of methods, or ...). Crtl+F makes the finder toolbar appear, Esc or Ctrl+F makes it disappear.

Very convenient when used like that.

Could do Spotliight in the same way, thinking of it.

Oh, and the finder results are a new browser showing only the results. Like that, you can find over a finder previous search in a single keystroke (Ctrl+F).

Yes, the whole Finder is quite old… lots of things could be improved.

(the best would be to replace it by a global spotlight like search…)

I found the logic of the PackageChooser from the finder to be pretty weird.

You can't directly select the packages you want to search in: you need
to select all, reject, then reselect the ones you want to search in.

How do you think about it?
