Thanks for the ideas. Sorting by column would be very useful.

I’m not sure how to mix attributes and regular text objects in the result. But, I can see that sorting by the attribute value would be useful. Maybe it can split the columns only when all results are attributes? Or, maybe a checkbox at the beginning of the search to only search attributes?

These ideas are being collected on defect #698793 in launchpad. Would you mind adding to it?

Cheers,
