Ever catch a fleeting glance at a FSbox message just before you move on the map, or refresh the screen. Just enough that you wonder what the rest of it said so you sit there refreshing over and over and over again trying to find it? Well what if there was a way to search current/active FSBox messages? The basic idea would be to have the ability to enter a player's name, or key word like "Buffs" and then search. It would then pull up the FSBox messages with that word in it or the messages created by that player.

Searching for players could look like this
"Player XYZ"
[Search]

XYZ Says: search is fun
XYZ Says: Selling buffs at ....
XYZ Says: I pick my nose with my big toes and sit to watch what grows.

New Search
Buff
[Search]

Alma says : Buffs for sale IF Double DC ...
AngieFC says : Need Buffs Send message of price.
Slivern says : Selling Buffs check Bio
JimDiGrizz says : Great Buffs, great deals, all in Bio

-----

That's the general idea of it. If you entered more than one word into the search it would look for any posts that contain all the words.

Naturally this could be turned into a gold sink if they wanted to, 500 gold per search. Maybe it will only show 20 at a time, randomly selected from a list of results? Could be a good add on to the FSBox system?

hitting the back button can help you most of the time... but I see what you're getting at. but it's just not really needed at this point, sorry. :)

the back button does not work if you refreshed the page (F5 for most people) or saw the message on the world map before moving, trying to hit the back button won't get you the old message.
