Problem: It is inconvenient having to use the paging system to navigate through a user's private messages and forum posts when searching for something specific. As for me, it takes a lot of time having to go through 100 pages of PMs in order to find what I'm specifically looking for.

Idea: If there was a system that allowed the user to use a string or keyword entry to search through messages / forum posts; this will certainly reduce the amount of time spent having to use the generic way.

Another option that can be implemented in conjunction with the above mentioned system; would be the ability to select a timeframe of when a private message(s) and/or post(s) was sent / made.
