Drag and drop tool from command search into ModelBuilder

[wayfaringrob]

Simple and as described in the title...allow tools to be dragged from command search results into a model. You can do this with the ArcToolbox/GP search, but with the introduction of command search I feel that more users are finding tools this way.

Is there a reason you're going to Command Search rather than just typing on the model canvas? i.e. if looking for 'buffer' to add to your model, just type on the canvas:

Saves mouse travel up to Command Search. That said, if there is a reason that you're still using Command Search, let us know so we can understand what the direct method is lacking.

Thanks!

@KoryKramer  just habit. I didn't know about that click & type shortcut, thanks!

So is that easier than going to Command Search? i.e. now that you know how to directly add a tool from the canvas, do you feel this is a valid idea to keep open?

[wayfaringrob]

I find it easy enough to add from the canvas, yes. It would be better if that box went away after adding a tool, though, especially since 1) no extra keys/clicks are required to start searching again, and 2) the 'stale' search remains in the box, meaning that you'd have to backspace all that to start a new search anyway. So, I'm not exactly sure what purpose it serves by staying, but it does react to esc which is helpful.

OK, thanks. We'll close this request for drag/drop from command search into ModelBuilder.
