Lack of interest Advanced Search by Thread Prefix only

[Mr Lucky]

Advanced Search Thread Prefix won't just search for prefixes, it also requires a keyword or a user.

This seems wrong

• You can search for a user without a keyword or prefix
• You can search for a keyword without a user or prefix
• You can't search for a prefix without a user or a keyword.

This isn't strictly a bug -- this has been the same behavior all through XF1 as well and the limit is generally intentional as there are situations where certain searches may have terrible performance.

I'll move this to suggestions though.

this would be useful in certain situations as an admin, maybe set a user permission to restrict by user group?
