<font face="Arial">Thanks Stephen, Control+M does seem to do what I
want, although I am not a fan of dialog windows as a UI mechanism.<br>
<br>
So taking this back to a labels on buddies ...<br>
<br>
Has anyone given any real thought to this idea. The best I can think of
is adding labels in a similar fashion to aliases (i.e., you can specify
then when you add a buddy or have a menu item to edit labels. I suspect
entry of labels must allow you to select one or more labels which have
already been defined as well as dynamically create new ones. The
ability edit the existing labels (delete, create, etc) separate from
working with a buddy would probably be required as well.<br>
<br>
As far as using, it might be that tags create "dynamic" group chats
which are shown in the buddy list (one chat group per label) or a group
can be specified based on labels. Not sure how x-protocol chats might
work.<br>
<br>
Using the Control+M search for labels would be good as well. This would
allow a filter type capability for buddies with one or more label.<br>
<br>
I suspect this is not a capability that could be added via the plug-in
API, but then as a newbie I may be completely incorrect.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

The "new instant message" command (bound to Control + M by default)
will also do incremental searches.<br>

problem I am having is that I have so many buddies in my list that it is

I can use the "Add Buddy" buddy option to locate a buddy, but what I
would really find useful is a text field at the top/bottom of the buddy
list into which I can type a name/alias and that would filter the buddy
list based on matches. This would allow me to quickly locate the person

<pre wrap=""><!---->There is something which might help you:
Try typing while you have the buddy list active. A little search window
should pop up and the first match should be selected.
To cycle through the matches use your mouse scroll-wheel or I think
PageUp and PageDown should also do the trick.

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">AFAIK, a bug in the GTK

made this feature useless (at least on Win32). I also remember a
previous request for a more fully fledged buddy search function, which
I second.<br>
