Search and Move Tweak

[davidelliott]

If I search for an item, such as the highlighted item below:

The search returns a result of 1 or more items:

I highlight both the items because I wan them both in the same location (group) and exit the search, I see…

With only one item displayed at the top of the screen. Sometimes it is at the bottom.

I them have to scroll the screen to see exactly where I am placing the items.

Is it possible for the searched items to appear in the middle of the screen rather than at the top or bottom? This would say a lot of needless scrolling ( at least for me it would).

You can use the “Move To” feature for that, are you aware of this?

Yes,I know that Kristian but I would have to still scroll through dozens of groups to place the items. And I do use that method when convenient.

In the case I outlined, just closing the search will take me to the correct group and so my initial request still stands.

I agree with David. My selected item frequently appears as the bottom item in the list.

Having the selected item appear in the middle of the list would be very helpful.

Thank you Neil.

I sometimes think that posting lots of queries to this group makes me a pain in the arse to GS. I note that I frequently have to send reminders about my posts to get a reply from GS Help.

Dear GS Team
Just wondering if you had considered this request? If it is too difficult, them my preference would be for the listings to always show at the bottom of the page and not the top.

Here is a version that scrolls the selected item in the middle of the outline view, which should provide more context about the items location. Let me know how it works for you:
