Hello,

When searching on Binsearch, one has the option to search either the 'popular' groups or the 'other' groups. To avoid needing to manually run the search twice, is it possible to add an option for Alt.Binz to do both searches at once automatically and combine both searches into the results? Thank you. =)

+1!

Because I keep forgetting to do this and are then constantly surprised when I do find the same stuff through another engine :')

I'm not an expert but I think that will require 2 seach commands in parralel.
After all you have to do the search twice on the Binsearch website as well.

Request is easy to implement, however I have to dissappoint you guys - I won't do it. Reasons should be obvious-increased stress to binsearch servers which is not fair and would probably end up with a ban.

Fair enough: thanks for explaining :)
