Suggestion — Bookmark/PM search

[Pyromaniacal]

Anyone ever noticed that you can search for anything you want, anywhere on CS, except in bookmarks and private messages? I constantly find myself needing to search my inbox for that one art trade PM or whatever and I'd rather just type "art trade" or something into a search box than page through six pages of PMs to find it. Same with bookmarks — I have a lot of bookmarks and if I want to find one thread I have to page through a lot of them to find it. Wouldn't it just be easier to add search functions to these areas so it can be as easy to find things in your bookmarks or inbox as it is to find things in the forum or My Posts?

My suggestion is pretty simple — add a search box into these two areas. When you search something, say, "art trade", it would work like every other search box on the site and bring up a list of every time the words "art trade" showed up in my PMs or bookmarks. Perhaps a more advanced search could be implemented as well and you could search by author... or not. A simple search box in both these places would help a lot in these two areas.

So what do you guys think? I'm sorry if this has been suggested before, I've searched the Help forum and I couldn't find anything.

I support. I am constantly searching for that one PM as well. Lol. This would be an EXCELLENT IDEA.

That sounds excellent and I would use it all the time.

It could easily go hand-in-hand with my own filtering bookmarks suggestion. Affiliate?

I'd love to be able to search my PMs. :) I don't have many bookmarks but I'm sure that would be handy to have too!

Support! I always find myself searching through PM's, and for the bookmarks I would like to be able to easily find my own forums because I find it hard sometimes!

i have like two pages of bookmarks, and it's a pain to actually find a bookmark that got buried out of the recently posted bookmarks. total support.
