There was a thread here the other day about the future of the client for Nessus. I tried to look it up to find a convenient point to hook my idea to but it seems that the Nessus mailing list archive is not working any more - the last entry on the menu is "03 Dec 2003 to 09 Dec 2003" then followed by one for 23 Oct 2001 which contains a mail from Renaud dated August 2004 (sic!).
Anyway, having tried to use the client for the first time in about a year today (normally I just hack on the config file), it occurred to me that some sort of filter mechanism for the plugin list would be an excellent usability feature. It took me about 5 minutes to locate the one new plugin that I'd just added in the list of 2000+ that now exist. Would be good to have either a search mechanism or a way to say "only show me things in family F where the plugin name contains P".
