Make Advanced Search the default?

Pea · 03-22-2007

I mentioned this in a General thread but thought I'd put it here -- can you make Advanced Search / Thread Titles the default? When I first searched, I never thought that I needed to be "advanced." It would make more sense that the default search bring up thread titles first, and then if you wanted every mention of a word anywhere, that should be the "advanced."

And Babaloo wouldn't have to smoke quite so much.

But it IS the default. Click Search, and that's what you get. The quick drop-down box (that isn't enabled for all people on all browsers) is a shortcut.

I don't think "search only thread titles" is a good idea for a default since this ignores post content, but having it as an option is handy (I believe this is enabled by default on the new version of this forum software). I just tried to add this feature but it wasn't working properly, so I've uninstalled it.
