add ability to leave search field empty

[moshbit]

Hey I know this doesn't directly tie into any of your addons, but I saw you had at least one search addon, so I thought I might put in a suggestion for an addon that lets you leave the search field blank when using the search in XF2.

This way, you could do things like find all posts with a certain prefix or all threads by a particular user in a particular forum node.

anyways, seems simple but i haven't seen anyone else do this yet in XF2, so i thought i'd place this suggestion here if this was something you would be interested in creating.

thanks, i love your addons!

When I port elastic search improvements/essentials, that add-on will enable that.

Click to shrink...

is the xenforo elastic search addon required for that? if so, that's okay, i'd pick up both to have the ability and have been considering getting elastic search anyways...

Yeah XFES would be required by those two add-ons, but I think I can make it work as part of search improvements targeting MySQL and ElasticSearch. Will see how it goes
