[Qgis-user] Find a feature in Quantum GIS

[Vinesh Govind]

Hello All

How can I quickly find a map feature in Quantum GIS?
In MapInfo Professional there is a "find feature" facility that allows you to very quickly zoom to an area of a map. For example, if I had a roads layer and wanted to go to a specific street, rather than having to write a SQL query, I could use the Find function, specify which table I want to find a feature for, which column name to search on and what type of symbol marker to show on the map once I have found the feature....like this:

Is there anything like this in Quantum GIS?

I am running version 1.7.

Thanks.

Vinesh
