Please allow searches for complete phrases, AND is frequently not sufficient. (ie '"brown cows" AND cats' as opposed to 'brown AND cows AND cats'). Threads. Its probably personal choice but change from an implied OR to an implied AND or at least throw in a radio button to choose. Better yet mimic google's query structure, (hell, hang the messages out there in files by thread and let google index them for us). Rather then just recent or all, some breakpoints that coincide with release dates might be helpful. (7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, since 4.6-RELEASE, since 4.5-RELEASE etc). Highlight search terms when viewing a matching document, makes it much easier to decide if it is an irrelevant match. ______________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@nighttide.net Help fight junk e-mail, visit http://www.cauce.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
