The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
The constant, method & property search is pretty neat (Ctrl + 6 or 7), but rather than just showing a filtered list temporarily until we've found/selected the entity we were searching for, it'd be more useful if the main list box was filtered based on what's entered.
When the filter box is cleared or closed (assuming there's an X button provided), the main list box would reset to show it's full contents again (preserving what's been selected while it was filtered).
This'd increase developer productivity when we need to review/update a group of entities that have the same keyword in their name, but unless that's what's used as a prefix, won't be grouped so they can be found/reviewed together easily.

If filtering is eventually added to this part of the IDE, it would be good if the filtering could also include a way to restrict the list based on public/protected/read-only settings.
For example, this would make it much easier to see just the public methods available on a class when you're 'using' that class.
We've moved this to "future consideration" -- it's a good idea but a relatively large dev task that we'll need to circle back to.
