I'm working with Drupal 6.11 and Views2 and am thinking about having a "quick find" feature that will just look through the results of a view. Here's the scenario: I am generating a view that will among other things list movie actors. It will be a long, probably paginated list. If a user wants to search the through the list for Gloria Swanson, he/she might sort the list, or use the site search, but not just quickly jump to (or even highlight??) the appearances of Gloria Swanson in the list. (I know, it's essentially the same as a browser search, but work with me.) I don't see any modules for it, and I'm happy to take a stab at it myself, and I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any really elegant, smart ideas about how to most easily approach it.
Thanks!

With Views2 you can expose filters and do search with these. For example, if you expose the node title you will be able to do a quick search on it among the views results. It is not search-as-you-type but I guess it can be done.
