Usability improvements for Setup > Fields in backend

[MSP01]

Sometimes when you have a lot of fields, finding one you want to edit can be bit cumbersome. I like to organize things with tags, but I've lately noticed that they really just slow you down and using the browsers search is probably the quickest way to find the right field, as long as you know what it's called. But if your tagged field groups are closed browsers search wont be able to find the field until you open the group...

So would it be possible to add one of these options?

A) Ajax search field that would show you a list of fields that match the search criteria

B) A simple checkbox or button that would open / collapse all the tagged field groups at once so you can use browsers search to find your field

Of course if someone has made an extension to do this, do let me know. ?

Sounds exactly like what the admin search does? ?

You know what, I've never in my life tried the search. I'm not even sure what I thought it was for. It's a little slow, but still great improvement!
