    Search option

    Is there any way of modifying the search page?
    When the results appear the search terms are removed.
    It would be good for them to stay in the box so that you
    can add an extra term to trim the number of results.

    Also how can I reject all the posts from the .NET forums?
    xml AND NOT ".NET" doesn't work.

    I'm not sure how to do a "NOT" in a search. Maybe someone else who has used vBulletin will be able to answer this. I'll keep my eyes open for an answer.

    As to 'redoing" a search. I simpliy hit the back button on the browser twice quickly. This takes me back to the page I originally did the search on. (Note that pressing back only once takes you to the 'searching' page and will return you to the results page. You have to click twice, fast. This isn't a total solution to your request; however, it is a work around.

    My search terms are still there when I go back to it.

    as Brad mentioned, clicking Back twice rapidly
    allows you to redo the search, but the search
    terms dont appear with the results of the search
    (before you click Back twice)

    at least not on any of my computers...

    I would then suggest taking the 1.5 seconds to click back.
