did you try this out yourself cookie? I put in a log "jdfi783hjnzx8sd8h3" saved it and tried the method you just used and it didnt find anything and accually showed 2 logs which have nothing of this sort of typing in there.

and about the lazyness - Programs/plugins/apps w/e are here to make our life easier, better and faster (both for lazy and nonlazy people) If it wasnt like that, why are we on Windows XP and why didnt we stay on MSDOS/Windows 95? Because its easier.

I have wanted to be able to do a generic search on my logs a couple of times, but can't because there is no way to search them without having some kind of password entry.

I did think about this and the only way around would be in the search window to put your password if you wish to also search in encrypted passwords.


I also see nowadays a pproblem with members; they just state their opinion. I just wanna say that this is just a suggestion (which will possibly never make it to Messenger Plus!) so i dont really care about the opinions. I would rather hear people apport ways to do this or improvements. But w/e its your post count :)
