I find myself wanting to search emails and the current buffer all the time. Is there a way to do this? I was looking at adding a search for the filebrowser view, but then decided that it should probably be for every buffer, not just that one. If this needs to be implemented, where would be the likely place for it? I keep hitting ''/'' when wanting search the current buffer, which is currently for searching all messages. Is this left over from mutt? If not, it seems to kind of clash with behavior of many other unix programs. Anyone else feel this should change? -- Ian Taylor

What should the global search command be then? -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net>

So I''m back at sup again now, and I might continue my very simple first attempts in the near future with the tips you gave me. -eyal

I might be able to check something in today or tomorrow! Just a few remaining tweaks. Stay tuned... -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net>
