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.
