Thanks for the quick response nikos!

True™, but that normally does not work for me. Not sure why it doesn't work - I don't recall others complaining about that - but I haven't bothered to post about it because I don't do
accidental large searches very often... Best to pick and choose your battles ;-)
For searches which are
not accidental..well, I want them to finish, so canceling is not an option but results in a non-responsive application (sometimes

). So we must wait for the search to finish before resuming another file operation. Quite annoying - in the least, each Tab/Scrap should have it's own thread.
It doesn't happen at home very often because I don't search often, but at work I often search my office's network shares... which I now simply accept as a good time to to use the restroom since I often can't work in any of my other X² tabs :lol:

This case doesn't happen to me often.
%SystemRoot%\System32 is usually my biggest threat and it's not horrible. And I like X² mainly because I like dual-panes and tabs... not because I like multiple windows 8)
