I agree. It should be desirable to have such "auto-binary-search" option. 

But I dunno who to "blame" here (GNOME file browser could indeed add that 
option but it will require a UI redesign -it is already there, but in 
other place, not in file browser UI-, and Firefox/Iceweasel could also 
improve the current status of the" Open with" window manager...).

Mmm... hard choice. Let's blame both :-P 

(just kidding)
