    hi, how about a PM search feature in our user panel ? (search for a STRING inside the pms) for me personally it would be really useful, PM's are like emails, and as you know all popular email services (yahoo, hotmail..) has EMAIL search features.

    anyway, it's just a suggestion. so let's see what other members have to say.

    thanks

    A change like that would probably need to come directly from vBulletin developers because it would be pretty major changes needed to the core tables. They ability to search by date, sender and title already there (if you didn't know).

    alright yes i knew about the search by sender or title but most of the times, when i need to search, i means that i forgot the sender name or title ; and only remember some keywords of what it was about :D so i end up downloading all the archive and doing a desktop file search.

    The PMs are in the email notification you get in their entirety (assuming you didn't disable email notification of PMs), so you could just search your email for it.
