Could I suggest some amendments to the "To do someday" list (for an
'advanced search' only)?
- Search by author
- Search by subject line contents
- Search by date range (or open-ended-- i.e. after date X or before date X)
- Search for articles containing a URL
- option to ONLY return the heads of threads
- And of course search by quoted string (i.e. +quack +"foo bar")
Just some wishful thinking...
