Search in Favorites

I think it would be great and actually helpful to be able to search for certain artists or themes in my/our favorite collections.

For example:
I sometimes want to find a special picture again, which i've added to my favorites some time ago.
But there are already more than a hundred pages and i don't know on which one i could find this picture. So i have to klick through all those pages, 'til i eventually get it.

Now it would be much easier to have a search option somewhere, where i could just type in the name of the artist or the theme and then only a few possible results get selected.
It would be like the search at the DA main page.

Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks this is a good idea.
Thank you for considering. :)

the most suggested thing ever here, but for some reason dA refuses to acknowledge it.

I am 100% in favor of it

There is also another search issue. Due to fulltext search the engine often finds stuff that is totally unrelated with what you seek - just because the word you entered is in the author comment.

E.g. when searching for Dishonored (a game by Bethesda) it found Homestuck fanart [link] WTF?

Sounds good. It would be great to have more search functions generally. :nod:

Very common suggestion but I still can't deny that it would be useful. :)

Yeah, I've thought of that too, I mean they'll let you search your gallery but not your favourites.
