~~Title: Find-As-You-Type~~
<pageheader/>

The [[:basic_concepts:the_lister:find-as-you-type_field|Find-As-You-Type]] field (FAYT) is a multi-purpose field that appears at the bottom of the file display when you type.

The FAYT has a number of modes; those with specific options are:

  * [[~filter_mode|Filter Mode]]
  * [[~find_mode|Find Mode]]
  * [[~folders_mode|Folders Mode]]

==Times==

  * **Close timeout**: Lets you specify how long the FAYT field remains displayed for once you have stopped typing. Not all modes auto-timeout; for example, in //Command// mode the field will remain open until you press <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Esc</kbd> or click out of the field.
  * **Auto search**: Lets you specify how long after you stop typing a search (e.g. using Windows Search or Everything) will begin.
