        • ... more results are loaded automatically as you scroll
        • ... search results appear rather quickly, i.e. they don't crash the server
        • ... search query is case insensitive
        • ... you cannot find files that you're not supposed to (belonging to another course for instance)

      At the moment, the only way to re-use a file which I've used in another course (assuming I'm using Server Files and not an external repository) is to browse through Category>Course>Section>Activity/Resource>Files and hope I can remember where I put it. If its something recent AND i was the one who added it then it should be in my recent files, but if not then its unweildy to find a file from another course which I'd like to use.

      One way to get around this would be to have a search facility in the File Picker which would let me search any files to which I have access.

      And yes, I know Moodle isn't a file repository
