Thank you for an extremely excellent, useful tool.

One small item would make it even more useful. Suppose a user has folders named such that they have secondary meanings (for example, "p2" in the folder name means priority 2). Such folders are scattered and nested throughout many directories in various email accounts. The user would like to search for all the "p2" folders and work with the items in those folders.

The QuickFolders quickJump feature almost provides the needed functionality. When searching in quickJump, the results list can show folders matching "p2", for example.

However, the list is limited to 25 folders. Also, the list only remains visible as long as active searching occurs; once the user clicks somewhere else, the list disappears.

Please consider adding a "folder search" feature. It would function the same as the existing quickJump feature, except that (a) it would show all matching folders, not just 25; and (b) it would be persistent - similar to how mail search works. Instead of showing a persistent list of mail items, it would show a persistent list of folders.

One really cool implementation would be to make this a "smart tab" feature. When the user sets up a new smart tab, the user would specify a folder search instead of just dragging a specific folder. This would create a saved folder search. When such a smart tab is right-clicked, all currently matching folders would be listed and selectable. The beautiful thing is that this would map to your existing layout and tools, while adding the ability to obtain a persistent list of searched folders.

Thank you for your consideration!
