Making Search Easy

I would like to see a drop down of the last 3 to 4 searches in the search box (next to new posts box), exactly the way we have in the google tool bar. This would make search easy.

Also in the Quick Link of Subscribed threads field marked no of views would be helpful. That would make it more interesting.

How about some more "smilies"... for a smile crazy like me.....

One more suggestion, if there is a thread related to some places in a particular city it should be attached to that City itself. I have seen informations all gathering at one particular forum which just keep piling with no takers. Information is shared for people to view.

Under Chennai, we should have sub-forums like places of tourist interest (for ex).. under this we can weave so many threads which is scattered in the site...

This way we can do for all the places.
