It would be great if you could search inside the menus of the programs.
For example: Search "print" and the menu item "Print File" should open.
Mac has this ability, and it is great.

The old advanced search in Brainstorm was much better

I remember the advanced search in Brainstorm before its redesign: it had so many, many options, including different orderings for your searched posts, etc.
The new Advanced search has 2 options: what keywords, and what tags to use. Is that really advanced?

Stop displaying total votes. End the pecking order.

Correction: Title should read "Stop displaying 'Overall Quality of User's Ideas'. End the pecking order."
I think that showing each contributor's vote tally and imposing a ranking on that basis is counter-productive to a healthy brainstorming session. For sure, competition can inspire people but it also inspires attempts at gaming of the voting system and results in a proliferation of idea-piggybacking duplicates.
I'm not saying it should never have been this way, and no doubt it helped get things cooking when the forum started out. However we've reached critical mass already, with many more ideas per day than could possibly be implemented. Disputes and dissatisfaction over the allocation of duplicate votes can be reduced by removing the incentive, while also relieving some of the auditing burden for moderators.
If we need a metric, perhaps a better one would be "average number of votes per idea", i.e. quality over quantity. However that may simply encourage a wave of populist ideas. I propose that the contributor ranking be removed entirely. [By all means retain the lists of everyone's ideas and votes so that those who like to add up their net worth may still do so.] :)
PS: Absolutely no disrespect intended to Eldmannen or any of the other high achievers under the current points regime.

What is the position of your mind? She is the first? It is popular?
79 th best idea - My idea 1 st
279 th best idea - My 2 nd idea
7,279 th best idea - My idea 3 rd
8,928 th best idea - My idea 3 rd
It would be very interesting a general ranking of number of ideas. A second way of classification. This view could be included in My dashboard

Add the ability to attach multiple threads and bugs in Brainstorm

Be able to attach multiple threads and bugs if they apply to an idea in Brainstorm.
Pretty self-explanatory.
Currently you can only attach a single bug or thread, whereas there are often multiple attachments that could be made (particularly in the case of threads)
