Helps if you're connect to specialized hubs.

i requested this a LONG time ago at sf.net, but either arne didn't notice or he didn't consider it important but i think it's time to implement it now

reasons to do so:

* if you are in several spcialized hubs you can limit search to the hubs where you could possibly get results, thus lessen hub traffic for the other hubs
* ops can search for "unwanted" files only in the hub(s) they are actually op in ... that's the main reason i want this feature

Why would you want to limit your results?

A checkbox in the search criteria could do the same thing "Only search hubs where your an Op"
It also should only show up as an option if your an op in a hub

I'm not against the feature.
I just don't want to make the interface any more complex for the newbies, when only ops need it

@mo
* the hubs you are op in could have different hub rules so you only want to search for it ine one of the hubs
* you might do searches that get LOADS of results (1000+) and thus like to search on as few hubs as possible

True, I'm only playing the devils advocate to generate some thought on the subject here.
