Title: Favorite/saved searches option
Post by: dennis2005 on April 20, 2009, 08:28:28 pm
I think it would be great to have an option that allows certain search queries to be saved like a bookmark/favorite item.

When searching I often use the same search terms. If you could somehow save a search query to a button, extra toolbar (sidebar perhaps?) or menu it would make things much easier when repeating often used search queries (and it makes sure I don't forget certain items to search).

I know RSS feeds are there to download repeating things but most of the time I don't want to automatically download anything. I just want to browse (for example: I want to quickly see all new 1080 x264 stuff, but not download it automatically, I just want to click a favorite query and then make a selection manually)

Perhaps you can add a toolbar item that allows a menu to expand where we can add queries. When clicking a bookmarked query the query will be automatically performed at the active search engine.

It might sound as a feature for "lazy people", but I think it is really handy. And Alt.Binz is all about being lazy (better call it being efficient ;)), else there would be no need for this wonderful auto search, download, par and unrar tool!

Just in case you don't already know this, Alt.Binz already saves the last XX searches in the dropdown, number can be set in Setup -> UI -> Tabs. In practice I find that the last 20 is usually more than enough.

Not what you're asking for, I know. ;)

Let me just correct one sentence from the original post.
