Can we have a PM Inbox 'Search' feature?

    This would be great, IMO.

    This forum is like no other as far as ease of navigation/use/communication. OF definitely seems to be the benchmark for hobby fora, and I'm so grateful to be a member here.

    If there was one thing to add, though, it would be this. If you're like me, and you have more than a few pages of PM's, then you know as I do how much time it takes to scan them all for either a fellow seller, or a watch that you remember discussing with a friend.

    Is it possible to add this, fine fellows? Or, maybe it somehow already exists, and I just haven't figured it out :rolleyes:...:D. I'm thinking because a search like this is within a 'private' area, that it just isn't possible, but I wanted to inquire on it anyway, just in case...

    Regards,

    Doug

    P.S. If this can't be done, then can you just bring back The Squirrel?? :D

    This has come up before. Trev has explained that for technical reasons it is too difficult to script and install on the forum.

    For now, here is a squirrel to entertain you.

    I guess if I had indeed used the existing search feature :rolleyes:, I might have found the answer. Thanks for repeating it for me here!

    And with that, I think it's about time to renew a dedicated squirrel thread...::book::
