When searching for coordinate system, show matches rather than tree, or expand tree to show matches

[wayfaringrob]

When searching for a coordinate system, the user is presented with something like this:

It's another couple clicks  to drill down to an actual coordinate system:

This is not the most intuitive nor efficient. Might I suggest the approach used in QGIS, which shows all matches in a simple list? This would save several clicks and help users more quickly scan through the results.

Good idea.

Though QGIS doesn't use a simple list, it retains the tree structure, but also filters out the tree levels as well as the CRS's that don't match the search text and then expands the tree.  I find that much more useable than the Pro way.

@Luke_Pinner  yes, exactly. That's what we need.

Ha, I just had to use ArcMap for the first time in years and it does exactly that:

@Luke_Pinner  they spent years - perhaps decades - improving what became ArcMap, and threw it out overnight. I don't get it.
