Does anyone use the save/load favourites function in Advanced search?

[JustineMumsnet]

Or can we take it off because it's a bit confusing we think?

i use it

but i can cope with you removing it

I use it very regularly. I have my favourites saved, and I really hate it when I have to scroll through the massive long list to find the individual topics.
Please don't take it off but you could replace it with a general topic however e.g. I have education, primary ed, and secondary edn saved. It would be easier just to have "Education" with all the sub-topics...

It was waaaaaay too complicated and fiddly to use & I was never convinced it actually worked either. Here, have my pitchfork, you can kill it now.

I use it, because I'm only interested in a few sections and it's a real pain to look down all that long list, particularly with all the Mumsnet local listings which seem to go on forever.

I use it too.

I use it but haven't been able to since the changes

I use it & don't find it very confusing

I don't use it but I do like being able to select the topics you want to search.

I don't use it and wouldn't use it but I don't think it is confusing to use. I did have a play with it and found it quite easy to get to grips with.

Why remove it? Is it causing trouble or taking up space?

If you keep it, can I recommend a change to it? It would be far easier to use if the categories were in alphabetical order.

no

no don't use it

Don't even know what it is!

I had not even realised it existed!Had never scrolled down that much!

bit too confusing for me, so no

bit too confusing for me, so no

Nope

Occasionally, but not enough that I'd miss it.

No, I don't use it as I've never really understood why you would use it.
Why do you want to get rid of it, tho?

never 'eard of it mate!

I use customise and 'hide' topics to get rid of all the really boring irrelevant to me at-this-time-in-my-life sections and the scab-picky ones I need to stay away from

i use it but never too sure if it works

Yes, I use it to limit searches to my favourite board.
If you were to remove the feature, would it still be possible to search a specific board?

Perhaps you could remove it from Advanced Search, but create a new search page called Expert Search - for those of us who still like that feature.

i use it. great function. don't lose it.

Didn't even know it was there until now!

The what?
