Okay, so I didn't actually have a search box in the second one :)  No  
reason why you couldn't, though.

Caveat: personally I still don't really like this sort of  
"categorised table" layout-- IMHO it's just too hard to visually scan  
through and find what you're looking for, as first you have to play  
guess-the-category, and then you have two dimensions to deal with  
through rather than one.

Cheeri,
Calum.
