I had just developed something similar to this for my own forum. This MOD is cleaner than what I did for myself, and it should be helpful to your users.
How is this working with MSSQL Server? I know the regular search page had to be tweaked because of some time-out issues. Does this take that into consideration? Anyone know?<
Astralis, all it is is a popup window presenting all the posts in a given topic on a single page with your search terms highlighted so you can easily scan through all the messages at once looking for the highlighted terms rather than paging through topics.
