We had that already implemented Gandalf, but it turns out that due to the 
complexity the searches can take on, it resulted in too high a load on the 
computer. Even with my 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo it would take 8 seconds to 
recalculate the numbers every time you changed something. We therefore had to 
abandon the inclusion of searches.

At least you can drag&drop images across those bars now :-)
