Re: [Usability] Gnome HIG suggestion: search box clear buttons

[Kirk Bridger <kbridger shaw ca>]

It seems to me that this would be a bug with Evolution - why isn't the 
data being filtered by the filter properly?  One could argue that it is 
because it is not filter as you type.  Perhaps a bug should be filed to 
change that rather than come up with a complex colour/texture display 
solution?
