Precisely...

In fact, I have already approached Iago about the possibility of - *after* first simplifying things a bit and losing some of the clutter - incorporating the functionality of the 'View:...' widget too (the one that allows you to create Custom Saved Searches), which I also still must use, because of one feature: Persistent Views of folders - I can set some folders to always 'View: All' and some to 'View: Unread'...

So, if he can accomplish this, then incorporating Unified Search into the core code would *simplify* things (reduce redundancy and the resultant confusion).

I'll be opening another bug for this once I have a Screenshot done (of how the new widget would/could look) and a suggestion for how to incorporate the functionality in a way that makes sense.
