Dynamic List Searching
Published 05/26/2008 by Michael Knight
The release of Interspire Email Marketer 5 has seen the addition of a lot of new features. Some of them (like segmenting) are major new additions that many people are excited about, but it may not be the major features that you find most useful in this release. We've been putting a lot of work into making Interspire Email Marketer as easy to use as possible and have snuck in a host of mini-features and improvements to make things clearer, easier and quicker. My favourite new mini-feature is Dynamic List Searching.
If you have a large number of Contact Lists then you may have experienced some frustration selecting the List you want to send a Campaign to, export Contacts from, or search for Contacts in. Now, instead of finding a needle in a haystack, you can let your fingers do the finding!
Simply type a few characters of the Contact List name and the list will shorten itself to just those entries that match your search criteria – as you type!
To get back to your original listing of all Contact Lists, simply clear your search string.
Dynamic List Searching is a very handy feature to speed up tedious list selections. Depending on how people are using it, we may tweak its behavior or roll it out into other areas of Interspire Email Marketer. We might even include it into other Interspire products if it proves popular.
If you have any questions about this or would like to just comment on it please reply below and I will answer you shortly.

Now my list of 500+ Contact Lists has been reduced to a much more manageable size where I can easily select the List I'm after.
If you want to select multiple Lists that have very different names, you can simply enter a second search word. For example, if you search for "blue red" then it will display all Lists that have "blue" somewhere in their name and all Lists that have "red" in their name.
