The cross reference system on Writer is really powerful, but it needs one important enhancement: if you have several headings (I have documents with more than 30) finding the one you want to cross-reference is difficult. To have a filter field where you can type a few characters to narrow the list would be a blessing.
This could be an easy hack. The code of the whole tab page is located here: http://opengrok.go-oo.org/xref/writer/sw/source/ui/fldui/fldref.cxx However, it would be nice to think about a better UI for the whole fields dialog as there are quite a lot of stuffs to add or change there.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
An EasyHack should have been checked by developers and thus is confirmed regardless of age. Moving back to NEW from NEEDINFO again. Sorry for the hassle.
Deleted "Easyhack" from summary.

Hi all, a decent stab at resolving this has been made in gerrit, I don't know the codebase well enough to confirm the enhancement though. If someone more knowledgeable than myself could review this, it would be greatly appreciated :-) https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/21856/
