[TYPO3-core] RFC: Advanced BE search form

It has always been hidden. I see your point but will not do it. My first
priority is to get this patch into CVS, after that you can make such
optimisations on your own.

Dito.

Yes.

Will do.

Not sure, will look at it.

Thanks so much Sebastian for your great feedback.

Conclusion: Joey has spend a huge amount of hours, myself at least 10 hours
more, and Sebastian has had a deep look at it. However, since the patch is
so bug, I fear that nobody else will look at it.

May I ask you to accept the patch without looking at it, expecting that
Sebastian did a good job?! :-)

Thanks in advance!
