Search is a core feature.  It was one of the first added after the FoF
code fork.

If it is taking up too much room.  Perhaps It can be hidden behind an ico=
n
and toggled into view when clicked on.  This is easy using a little
javascript.  SourceForge does this by putting a little plus sign next to
the search button to give more search options.

I don't use search much, but find it useful when necessary.


I see the number of unread items in the feed list went missing.  are ther=
e
plans to add it back?

I like how it's coming along.  From what I see, implementing this is goin=
g
to take a bit of effort.  Maybe with a few devs pitching in.  Is this
going to happen before 0.3 release?  I vote yes.
