'Search' suggestion

    This is only a minor suggestion, but I've been meaning to mention it for a while... when I go to search for something, it'll generally be in the forum I've just been looking at when I click search. The default is to search every board which generally brings up a ton of unrelated posts, and since Boards has grown quite big recently it's sometimes a pain in the ass to find the board I'm looking for in the drop-down list.

    I'm wondering could it the list be defaulted to the forum you were just in, or could a radio button be added? There's so much good info on Boards I've found myself using the search quite a bit, and I'm sure other people would find this useful too.

    That's not very straightforward to do, but maybe the trick that Victor explains here would help? http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=1072632

    But the "search this forum" box is at the bottom of each forum...

    Do you want this at the bottom of each thread too ?
