* Advanced find functionality: A find tool bar that would be able to find what you type in on other web pages, so you would be able to select how deep in the links on the page the search will go. It will find the search terms you put in -- if there is any -- and will return the URLs that contains the search you have implemented. | |||
* Tab Scroller: scrolls the opened tabs using the Shift+ Mouse wheel, the opened tabs will appear on a menu on the left side, showing the current tab, and highlighting the tabs as you scroll. I have made an image using Photoshop, [http://medoaj.googlepages.com/TabScroller.jpg here], and will be pleased to help, contact me at mohajami1984@yahoo.com | * Tab Scroller: scrolls the opened tabs using the Shift+ Mouse wheel, the opened tabs will appear on a menu on the left side, showing the current tab, and highlighting the tabs as you scroll.

* Title | * Title Tool bar Element - display the title as a tool bar element, so the top title bar could be permanently hidden and not take vertical space (an Exit, Minimize/Maximize and Restore buttons are available in other extension as buttons or in the status bar, but it would be nice to include them as well). Minimum and maximum display length of the title should also be set in pixels, so one can choose if he wants it to take fixed space in the tool bar or resize (which doesn't seem very convenient to me as I like my search box and URL box in fixed width). | ||
* Chronological | * Chronological Search box History - for recent searches in the built in search box to be sorted in the order you searched for them (like Google Tool bar does), plus the ability to choose them from the drop down list (using the now hidden drop marker) without running the search automatically. | ||

* Bookmarks with current search terms and address parameters - actually merging the search plugins system into the bookmarks, enabling to use the better bookmarks organizing system for the search engines and so adding to them things like folders (that currently "Organize Search Engines" provide) and Open All in Tabs (to run the same search in several engines, which no extension does so easily so far). The current URL parameter is to run searches inside the current website (like Google Site Search) which strangely the search plugins doesn't have even now! Of course the intension is not to turn the bookmarks into thousands of little files like IE favorites (and the current search plugin system) but rather to use the same single file for them as well with the same system. All is needed is those two parameters for the bookmark's URL and changing-icon feature that "Favicon Picker 2" already provide, and later the equivalent of "Context Search" for the bookmark system. | * Bookmarks with current search terms and address parameters - actually merging the search plugins system into the bookmarks, enabling to use the better bookmarks organizing system for the search engines and so adding to them things like folders (that currently "Organize Search Engines" provide) and Open All in Tabs (to run the same search in several engines, which no extension does so easily so far).
