The design palette seems to work well for Boolean buttons, but is more difficult to use for other controls. For example, if I type "graph" I get firstly various buttons, then a number of graphs, but there's no way to tell what type of graph: waveform, XY, Intensity - even a chart gets shown here (because the filename on disk includes the word "Graph").
Suggested enhancements:
text showing the name of the control currently selected (or under the pointer) in the same way as the LV Control menus
the list of control types filtered to show only those which are part of the current search (same as the sizes are only those relevant)
where the search text is a standard control type, then those are shown first before buttons that also match the text - and/or ability to sort by type rather than theme
a list of other words relevant to the current search that can quickly be clicked on to limit the options shown, either sorted alphabetically or by frequency of use
