Which I right click to get the pallet, if I wish to search I need to click search. Can we skip the extra step and typing when in the pallet should automatically search for functions.
Quick Drop does this for you. Type Ctrl+Space and start typing.

IMO this idea is only a half-step. The palette search and QuickDrop are both just fine and dandy for you text lovers out there who prefer your results as a wall of text. On the other hand, I prefer graphical results so I will post another screenshot of my little SpeedDrop tool which does precisely what this idea suggests.
It is launched via Ctrl-Space, but does not close after selection, and the results of the search are presented in a form much more comfortable for me:
So, if the idea was to replace the palette search with a graphical version, AND start the search automatically, then I would be totally in favor.
I may be able to revisit sharing the code now. Originally I nuked QD and simply hijacked Ctrl-Space. No bother to me, but I figured others may still like it as an option (I still don't miss it). A silly bug/feature in the QD code prevented me from simply reusing the existing QD implementation. I worked around it by completely rewriting QD, but it did seem silly to reinvent the wheel. Now I think the bug is fixed so I may look into this again.
