Yeah, its a duplicate and I know it. Sorry. But the fact remains and has remained for years now that it would be quite simple for this functionality to be added, but 3 years on and several versions later, someone with bug-closing permissions apparently remains close-minded about it (no pun intended). 

ANY large list needs a filter. Period. It is sillier still to keep fighting against a functionality that ALREADY EXISTS in a similar dialog (View Cookies) in the same application...

Please re-reconsider this important option for those of us who are using the exceptions list as I think it was designed to be used, and accumulating hundreds of exceptions regularly. 

The only other thing that makes sense is removing the Cookie Exceptions functionality altogether...and I am NOT advocating that. Sorry about the "tude", but this is clearly an issue that should not have lasted this long or suffered so much debate, especially considering the relatively small effort involved.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Intense frustration of trying to adjust my cookie exceptions and going ballistic as I scroll through the enormous list, not finding what I need to find...

Here's a question for you: would implementing bug #336207 be a valid compromise/solution for you?

A duplicate of what? Filing duplicates doesn't achieve anything useful.
