In the older versions from some years ago were problems with @ and 0-9;
i will try to compare repaired code from the old version and the new one, if i still have it somewhere.
It would be really nice to have the chars to choose as an option in the sidebar. You may want to add an option/widget some day in future.
And ... again we have a filter without to care for other filters. With less energy it should be possible to add used filter, i guess.
?order=rating_weighted&direction=desc
?alpha=D
could be
?order=rating_weighted&direction=desc&alpha=D
In the older version you could not do this for some reason and got an error. With this version i can do it, bit you dont see "filtered by D" next to "sorted by rating".
Maybe the alpha-search could also be in the filter-form.
All this depends on my forum. I have one client-forum where this addon is perfect just to fetch all employees with a name that starts with x.
All other filters are deleted. So it is perfect.
