Thread:User talk:Purodha/Feedback for translations search/reply

For, I would like to have different buttons next to the standard skins (vector, in my case) search box, ordered by my usage priority here: Whether or not source/target languages are the ones currently selected for translation or taken from the user preferences is of lesser concern. Both are useful, the current translations settings are both more flexible and probably more confusing. All of those should open a new tab/window as instances when I do not want to keep the original window are too few to warrant even a choice for me.
 * 1) Search in translations to 'my target language' only.
 * 2) Search in 'my source language' only. Currently that is fixed to English, but may be different in the future.
 * 3) Search in translations to any language only.
 * 4) Standard search.

Sometimes, I wish to be able to strict string matches on parameters, markup, wikitext, special characters, and parts of words, such as " $1|$2]] userna ", which currently does not work.

Rarely, a "hide matches" mode, which only lists page titles, and you need a mouse action to see the matched text and its environment, would be a time saver.

Also rarely, a regular expression match would be useful for me, but I doubt that I would implement it myself, even if I knew how, since it's really rare. But maybe, it is easy? :-)

The same holds for a "case (in)sensitive" switch.
