1. My <http://n2.nabble.com/user/UserSpecialNodes.jtp?cmd=flagged> currently spans three pages, and will grow.

Suggestions:

a) to the collection of flagged items, add a search field

— search should default to subject and authors

b) to the default search results window, add an 'advanced search' option

c) in the collection of flagged items: allow the user to sort, and reverse sort, the three columns.

Priority: suggestion (a) alone should cater for most use cases.


2. My <http://n2.nabble.com/user/UserSubscriptions.jtp> is not too long and in any case, past experience with legacy <http://www.nabble.com/alerts/EmailAlerts.jtp> tells me that reviews of a collection of subscriptions should be rare, I need not worry.

Suggestion:

d) to the collection of subscribed items, add a search field.

Priority: very low (personally, I might never use the feature), but I assume that whilst adding a search feature for flagged items, you might similarly add the feature for subscribed items.

Thanks
