I'm a big fan of the "suggestions" that auto-populate on various sites. As you're typing, it guesses what you're looking for.

Down those lines, I'll talk to Meatloaf and see if there's a way we can build the searchbox to "suggest" whatever term you're search for to do the following:

Let's say you're searching for MSFT.

As you're typing in the search box, you can continue typing, but while you're doing so, the form drops down and offers options like:

Search Board Subjects for MSFT
Search All Messages for MSFT
Search Members for MSFT
Etc...

At which point you could click on any of 'em and they take you directly to that page on the new search results page. And of course, we leave in the default options of Stock Quote and Search Boards....so there's big buttons to click as well. This solves the simpler UI issues; as well as makes the folks who already know how to navigate the site in their sleep happy...and still removes a click (or two??). :)

Hmmm..I like it! Let me talk to Meat.
