First off, I got to say the search string filter ont he tracking window is great, but there is one problem I've discovered with it.If you are typing in search string (for example cub), and say a party member gets attacked.  Naturally I immediat click onthe mob and try to attack it.  Instead of attacking it, I fill the search sting box on my tracking bar(in our example it becomes cub 244253) and I don't attack the mob.  Basically what is happening is the tracking window does not loose focus whenyou select mobs or other target in the main window.  If you select a mob on off your tracking window list or click on another window the keyboard short cuts work fine.  But, you can't go from typing in a sting to selecting a target and using your short cut keys.I reccomend , if possible, changing the off the trackign window when you select a mob to target.<div></div>

I'm pretty sure this happens on Live servers with other windows. I'll check tonight.<div></div>

It'd also be very helpful for when you sort the list of things in the tracking window, it had some sort of indicator for what method of sorting is currently being used (alpha, reverse alpha, distance, con level, etc.). Or maybe some columns with the appropriate info, and you could just sort by the column, rather than cycling through the available sort methods.... kinda like:___Name____ | __Distance__ | __ Con __ |__a bear_____ | __10m______| __Red^^__|__a bat______|  __5m_______| _Blue____|etc...etc...then the player could click on the top of each column and sort by the corresponding value.
