Advanced seach > have forums sorted alphabetically

turgon

Usually when I use advanced search its to find posts made by certain users in a certain forum, usually politics. However its kind of annoying searching through the huge list of forums in the drop-down-menu-like-thing* to find the one I'm looking for.

What would be nice is to have the option of having the list of forums sorted alphabetically so I could just type "p..." on my keyboard and get there quickly.

At the moment the spaces before, say, politics, prevent me from doing this.



*as in a drop down menu with "size" > 1

You see the problem is that Firefox wont find politics if I type "p" because of the spaces before it. So a solution might be to have elements have padding on the left.

I'll see what I can do about this, but from memory I don't think you can have padding on an element in a multi-select.

I might be able to do something with access keys or some javascript.

Anychance we could have the find a forum from the new menu added to the search. A bit of tweaking would allow someone to add multiple forums to the search.
