Hi!
I’m often looking for images posted by people on my forum, especially on certain topics (in fact, I sometimes try to do this on any forum engine).
The search query is like:
@Canapin with:images topic:265354

On the advanced search page, it looks like this:
It would be cool if we had thumbnails included in the excerpts to easily find what we’re looking for - or simply have a good overview.
Plus, currently, the only way to check all the results is by clicking a result to see the post, then clicking the search icon again to see again the list of results, then clicking the second result, etc… Quickly annoying.

Excerpt example code:

Alternatively, an added link could display a regular post list containing only the posts found from the search query, and we would scroll through them as a regular post list (kinda like the “summarize topic” feature).
