Search New Mod

[Forge]

Hi all!  I'm finally getting around to converting my YABB to the SE version.  Unless someone else is already working on it, I'm going to start working to convert the search new mod I wrote for YABB Gold.

The version I wrote for YABB Gold searched for all new messages and returned them in a big list along with the first line of each post.

Does anyone have any requests for changes?  Some I've received from my users are:

*  Make search new a single step.  As it was the user would have to submit a search new form before getting results.  My users said that they never changed the form, so I should get rid of it.

*  Have links open in a new window (I already did this on mine...should this be an option?).

*  Add an option that would mark all messages read when you do the search.  That way if you decide you don't need to read all the messages in the result set you won't see them again next time around.

Any other suggestions?

A single "view new posts" link..

*  Have links open in a new window (I already did this on mine...should this be an option?).

I dunno... looks like a "normal" link is better.. after all, you can always use shift+click to open it in new window, but it's pretty messy to do right-click -> "copy shortcut" -> and then paste it on the url bar.... if you want to open the link in the current window..

That's the idea..
Yes, please..


p.s.
The topics should be arranged by category, and the list should split into smaller pages..
