I have searched the forum and didn't find anything. What I would like if there is a possibillity to search within the dividers. If you have all the x-files dvd's and you are looking for a spesific episode you know the name of, but you can't remember the season, it would be neat to search for that episode in dividers, and presto, there it is

Why not the search the episode title via overview search where according to the contribution rules a simple episode list may exist?

I've often wished you could search on the cast/crew list for a specific person.  We can use filters to tell me all the profiles in which John Doe appears, but if it's a long cast list, it's hard to find him in that list -- and it often invoves a lot of scrolling, especially if it's a parent TV profile John Doe's in and he's in an episode near the end of the list. 

Since a divider is like a special type of person, if we could do a search in the cast/crew list we could probably find either a person or an episode title.

I think this is a good idea.

That's true, but since the dividers came, most of the episodes listings are removed from the overview..

If they also could highlight the persones we're looking for in TV profiles, and have a shortcut i.e ctrl+N to find the next place he/she is listed would also be great.

They already highlight the person in the filter, but only at the main screen.  When you edit the profile, the person is NOT highlighted - so you must look for him manually -- or remember where he was before you opened the profile to edit it.

I have a plug-in coming soon (perhaps as soon as this week), that will allow you to search dividers.  I just searched for "Memento Mori" and it found it on The X-Files: Season 4 and Stargate SG-1: Season 10.

You can also search for people.  Right now it won't tell you which divider they're listed under, but it's such a great idea, I'll see if I can't get that feature in before I release it.

Thanks for the good idea guys!

As a reward, he's the plug-in in action showing which episode dividers Erin Chambers appears under.
