I still think at least a 'deselect all' button would be useful. Since I am having issues getting it to deselect when clicking. Part of the problem is it always requires you 'Select all' first before it let's you 'Deselect all'. The other part of the problem is your single click will select something else if you don't do the double click on the selection.

Maybe if you made it always default to doing 'Deselect all' first if you have anything selected, but do 'Select all' first if you have nothing selected, it would work better.

I hear you this, that this would a niche feature. I do use this feature occasionally on general-purpose indexes, but it's probably not as useful on the more narrow categories Fanzub covers. If you ever did implement it, you may as well just add raw newgroup result browsing. Not really a priority feature.

I would really like something like this. As part of it, could you allow author=XXXX in the search query, or is that not possible?

Could you workaround this by allowing a wildcard * as the search term with exclusions?

Probably, but the same is likely true for Google's hidden and advanced functionality. Even if hardly anybody uses them, it doesn't make such things any less useful. A few of these things would fall under very rarely used, but critical when you do actually have a need for them.

When I was making my "Advanced Search" suggestions, I did have something like that in mind. The two guys that run that site are actually pretty nice and friendly. If you ever get stumped, they may be willing to give you some tips and suggestions.
