So I occasionally browse the forums, but mostly I search. One thing I feel is missing from the search results is the actual search term(s) that I searched on. Naysayers, will try to tell me that I should remember what I searched for, but when you have a dozen windows open, each showing different searches, it can be easy to lose track. Yes the terms I searched for are highlighted in the results, but sometimes, when you searched using a complex boolean, it really helps to be able to quickly see your original criteria.

Any chance this could be added to the search results? It could be added to the "Search Results" line e.g. 'Search Results: "double shoebox rocket" 22 threads containing 60 posts'

I search the same way.

I would love a box at the top so i can add or subtract from my search to narrow results.

Well, yes. That as well. Currently the only way to do that is to start from the 'Search' page, and then go back there to amend your search terms.
 
I knew I would regret that burrito. But this tiny ad has never caused regrets:
