Suggestions For Paolo (mostly)

[Vianna M]

Hello Paolo,

 I have been thinking of a few features features you might want to consider (if possible) in future program renovations. One regards  SEARCHES. 
First, what fields are included in searches now: member ID, member's address, the profile, the comments of a profile, ALL or ONLY some of these? I got 10 pages' worth today when entering KIT into the search field.  Can we use Boolean searches?

Also Paolo, could searches  be done selectively, say by field, in some near future?  Sometimes I have items I would like to send to someone that might have an interest in such, other times I just try to locate a sender to thank them: might it not be possible to search specific fields of a profile for such details? 
May I ask what "sort" fields have you coded presently when displaying results?
Do you think a "sort by" feature would be a good idea? It might be helpful perhaps when the results fill pages and pages ...

Also, would it be possible to have comments made on profiles be auto-sent to the member's email of record (something similar to what message boards do now)?

Do messages sent through this Google group go out to everyone or only to members who  expressively joined the group ( I think the former should be the norm).

 I dont know what others reading my message think .. but I would like to have your thogths on these suggestions.
Regards,
Vianna
