I realize you can indirectly get to the set picture by typing the number in
the "search newsgroups" box and then hitting the link at the top.  I was just
hoping to avoid the extra step and go straight there.  I want to see the
picture FAR more often than the other search results.  Also this is really
2 extra mouse clicks since I have to hit the BACK button twice to get back
to the original message.  Mind you this is already better than my current
method of typing the pause search URL manually.  I just want it to be • perfect.
Two search boxes would be that.


You can always do what I did: put a link to the Browse Pause page in your
toolbar.  It is the same number of clicks, but you don't have to type a URL,
and if you need to look for a set that you don't know the number for, all the
data is right there.

Oh! No!  You're ruining it!  So far Todd has done everything I asked for.
Your solution would require actual work on MY part.  Actually it would require
ALL users to do extra work.  And I would have to add this to every machine
that I might happen to browse the news from.  Which way is better?  One guy
(who knows what he's doing) fixes it for everybody, or everybody blunders
around making their own personal fixes.

If you get the idea I'm lazy, OK I admit it.
