Abstract
A system displays a filtered list of elements in response to receiving user input of a desired string associated with a list of elements. The system includes a user interface control, such as an edit control, for receiving the input, and determines whether elements matching the desired string exist in the list of elements. The system provides the ability to search internal strings of an element and various levels of a hierarchical list. If no matching elements exist, the system displays the entire list and provides an option to add a new element to the list.
