Search for Topic prefixes

I use lot of prefixes for my topics and I often face problem while reviewing them. Can you please integrate Topic prefixes into the phpbb routine search function. It would be great if we can search topics (ok, sort topics) based on Topic prefix. It saves the most precious thing, TIME.

That's a great idea. I'll see what I can do for the next version. I think I'll put a list of prefixes on the search page and then you can choose one or more and search for all topics with those prefixes.

You are telling more than what I expected. Searching topics for multiple prefixes by a single click!! Waiting eagerly for the next version.

Yeah, but it may be a little while. I'm trying to optimize and modularize the core coding structure to make the MOD more efficient and such, and it's one of a couple of projects I'm working on. But I hope to have an update sometime in the near future (not too near, but not too far, hopefully!).

As an update, this feature did not appear in the latest BETA release (v0.2.0) because I have not yet decided how exactly the search ability will be implemented. It is still a planned feature for later.

Sorry, but this feature is still not available in the latest RC due to the complexity of the edits required. I would basically need to rewrite half of search.php to do this, unless I'm missing a painfully obvious hook I could use.

So I am sorry but for now, do not expect this until at least phpBB 3.1 comes out because that is supposed to at least slightly improve the ability of MODs to be more of "plugins" than "modifications".
