Oh boy, that looks fantastic! :D I think that might just save me a week's
work! :) Is the "Full Search" easy to extend / snag out of its current
context and integrate into my own extension? I'm sorry if I sound like a
newbie - but don't worry, I have until August 31st 2007 to work on this, so
that situation will *change* ;)

This thing combined with "multiple simultaneous record editing" on selected
fields would be *really* cool. Maybe, if I'm not too much off-standards, I
could contribute with such functionality :) Or maybe it's already possible?

You're very kind, thank you! Seeing as I'm on this project for this long,
I'll probably come running later on ;)
