Can I filter already downloaded posts from search results?

As an example - I load my search results & see what is already leeched with it's green file icon +everything else.
Can I set a filter to hide those already leeched results from the search pane? (Needs to toggle-able.)

I had this feature in my old newsreader, & miss it sometimes. I can't find any info about this in NB or am I going blind? :(

Looks like no but, I can look into it. There's no reason "Hide Old" couldn't do it.

Thanks for a fast reply Quade.
I assume you are talking about a future form of 'Hide Old' ...?
I had tried 'hide old' on display settings drop-down but found that the posts of the same age went along with the things already leeched.
Unfortunately when there is a group of things from the same time-frame (or an earlier time-frame) 'old' isn't selective enough, as you must realize.

Would be cool if you can come up with something. Leeched posts are obviously recorded by NB so it can add the relevant icon, maybe that can be hooked into? The ability to toggle this state is also pretty handy. :wink:

Hide old hides things that aren't "new". It's not a question of age but, whether they're marked old or not.

OK, I had been thinking of 'old' as being defined on a date basis not a 'seen' basis, assuming that is how you have set it up. (tho neither of these filter definitions would work with my wants in this case).
