oh! i was just coming to ask a question about this very thing that i noticed yesterday you guys had implemented...

there is an "All" box at the very top of the search page, but if i put into the box, for example, the word 'pearl', i only get a return for users who have that name, in whole or in part, and also news articles. the other areas, such as the MP, the galleries, freestuff, and tutorials, i first need to click on their respective tabs and then i'm taken to those specified areas where i can then put in a word for my search.

would there be any way to just consolidate the results from a search to truly search "all" as implied at the top of those boxes to that one area? i was confused for a few until i realised that i had to navigate to each aforementioned areas to get full results.

no biggie if it can't be programmed that way, but it would go a long way in simplifying things for the end user.
