Page navigation in the "message search" feature

When you have multiple pages of search results, you can only use "previous" and "next" buttons to navigate through the pages. Those buttons are at the very bottom of the interface and you have to scroll down to them every time you're on a new page, since it starts you back at the top.

- The position should remain the same across pages

- In "Page 4 of 64", "4" should either be a dropup menu to choose a different page number with, or an input field where you can type the page you wanna go to

I know those suggestions are only pertinent if there is a large amount of result pages. It can occur when searching for a single term or for the messages of a specific user, especially in servers that have been around for a while. I don't do searches every day, but I've been putting up with this drag enough times over a long period that I felt it necessary to write this.

This is a good feature idea, my suggestion is just to have an option to chose which search mode

we default too.

Preferably in our personal options menu.

If I know I have to search a long ways back, or want to see all the things related

to my keyword over one specific thing, (which is most of the time for me) I much prefer being able to scroll through everything.

It loads quickly so, unlike other sites having a scroll doesn't slow you down.
