I've added search pages to profile pages. Here's an example from ablachly's profile:



There will be some other library-search-related features coming out shortly.

Nice, Simple fearure. I also like that it defaults to All collections and not Your Library, as this avoids some issues.

Nice! -- I wouldn't mind having that on my own profile page...

go to the home page instead - search your books is right at the top. or you can do it from your library page itself.

I realize that -- I've certainly used both of those methods (as well as the "your books" link on the main search page, which is sometimes very useful).

I was pondering the value of consistency, not capability. Once one gets used to searching other libraries using a box on the right-hand side of the profile page, then it its only a matter of time before habit leads the mouse to the same area of the screen as one contemplates a search of one's own bookstacks.

At any rate, it's no big deal -- just an idea that I threw out in suitably weak terms (so as to reflect its relative unimportance)...

ok, gotcha. Sometimes LT is so info dense that I miss stuff so thought you might have, too.

#10 by SilentInAWay> Yeah, I'd love it right under my "Your profile" section on the profile. I'd use it far more than I use any of the green sections below it. I understand it's duplicative, but it's also probably the #1 action I perform on LT.
