Yeah. I know. It's a suggestion, remember.

You can see from Mike and Todd's answers that they thought I meant browse.

Poor communication on my part.

To clarify:

I'd like to search message threads I've initiated for a keyword. This would be in the search facility (binoculars) with the search limited to message threads I've started, for the keyword in question.

There have already been several times when I wanted to look up some advice I had previously obtained, sometimes as a direct response to my initial question or sometimes a little further down the thread. Sure, I can browse all of my messages, but being able to search them for a key word or phrase would really be helpful. But maybe I'm the only one who thinks so (would not be the first time I've come up with a feature of dubious utility FODU <g>).

The purpose of the suggestion was to see if others would find such a search of sufficient utility to warrant the powers that be to consider it.
