<ul></ul><p>Implemented and awaiting comments.<br /><a class="external" href="https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/406">https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/406</a></p>
<p>It's currently located in the toolbar, as I think this is more appropriate.</p>
<p>Layer properties should be used for properties and not for the selection.<br />Maybe the TOC context menu could hold an item for this. But I'm not sure there either.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6799: Bring the "advanced search" tool (available in table of attributes) also in layer properties (and in the TOC tight click dialog)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/6799?journal_id=385672013-01-28T01:30:43ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>I would personally say "yes", but I guess that it is needed to find a way to not confuse the users as there is already the query tool, that allows to <strong>filter</strong> features.</p>
<p>Thanks for the effort!</p>

<ul></ul><p>The difference being, that the filter is also a layer property, that will affect all operations on the layer and even being saved to the layer, while the selection is something temporary.<br />But if it helps users to find things more easily this would also be a good justification.<br />I have no strong opinion on this.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6799: Bring the "advanced search" tool (available in table of attributes) also in layer properties (and in the TOC tight click dialog)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/6799?journal_id=385812013-01-28T19:07:52ZNathan Woodrow
<ul></ul><p>I have changed the name of Query.. in the TOC to Filter.. so the action reflects the operation more clearly.</p>
<p>I think the working Select By Expression is quite clear and could be added to the TOC without issues.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6799: Bring the "advanced search" tool (available in table of attributes) also in layer properties (and in the TOC tight click dialog)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/6799?journal_id=520162014-06-12T14:45:30ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
