S2 Profile Module: Add 'Search Journal' to Interaction Icons

Title:
S2 Profile Module: Add 'Search Journal' to Interaction Icons

Area:
styles

Summary:
Search Journal is currently only accessible from the Profile page. Let's add it to the profile module of S2 layouts.

Description:
If you look at the homepage of dw_suggestions (http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/), there are several little icons in the profile sidebar module. I suggest 'Search Journal' be added to these so that it'd be directly accessible via any journal page, and not only from its profile page.

Edit: the username specified on the search link will depend on which journal you're viewing. When you're viewing your own journal, it'll let your search it. When you're viewing other journals/communities, it'll let you search them.

Actually, I'd love to see a search box for searching your own journal, then a link to search elsewhere. We might even make a separate module out of it.

You mean a box for searching your journal on other people's journals?

If the icon's added to all layouts then it will search your own journal when you're viewing it and it'll search other people's journals when you're viewing theirs.

Let me rephrase: the username specified on the search link will depend on which journal you're viewing. Yours: search yours. Another journal: search it.

[snakeling]

Yes, the search box would search the journal it's on (if it's possible, of course).

What might also be good is for users who have chosen to "allow others to search their journal," that a search box be insertable in the sidebar.

That feature is already planned.

I....have that half done and should really get on and finish it.

I like this idea even though I'm making a search box module. Some people might prefer a link over a text box cluttering things up.
