I COULD, but im thinking thats more along the lines of a different sort of modification.

Im actually going to be doing that with the built-in SMF dropdown feature. Should be up this weekend if I can get my customization site up!

That's the one I want.  I've had moderators at my site requesting this ability.

Version 1.1 is now up and features the awaited dropdown suggestion menu! Please report any issues you have with it.

oove:
The new version works a bit weird. Firstly, it needs first 3 characters for droplist even to show, which doesn't work with some of my 2 char. boards (for example, IT, PE, etc.). Secondly, I can't just type "board_title", I have to select it from the list, and when I do that - it transforms to integer (board id), which is a bit confusing.

It would be much better just to type in board title, press filter, and get the results, IMO.

Anthony`:
The dropdown only works after you type 3 characters for each board, it doesnt make much sense to query the entire database just to get an extra character in the text field. As for the integer, this is to avoid having to match entire strings in the database, which is more efficient especially if you have a lot of boards and big names (not to mention avoiding special characters).
