Deprecated - Usability feedback

I hope this is the right place for a little thank you.

I'd been searching the web for a little while, looking for something to help me manage a modest backwater, family oriented website. I fell over a few toy CMS' before I eventually landed on Drupal. What a relief...

"Recent comments" block usability
There is a problem with jumping to the new comment at multiplepage comments threads.

How to reproduce the problem:

Hi,

New to Drupal, so sorry if this question sounds ignorant.

I would like to spark conversation and possibly request a core change:

One of the reasons Drupal is so powerful is the list of options a user has for each node created. Sticky, promote, read permissions, comments, etc. But for the average "Editor" of the site I have pre-defined these options for them and just want them to edit the content.

I would suggest this:

I would like to add the "read more" text into a line after the teaser, left aligned, rather than right aligned and in the body rather than below it. It gets lost on a list of: posted in..., print this page, add new comment, read more.

I couldn't even find the code for the read more link. Does anyone know where it is?

I'm picking up an old thread with this one:

It would be nice if the search funtions on drupal supported GET. Actually this came to my notice when I was thinking of developing a search engine plugin for Firefox for http://drupaldocs.org.

Any reasons for not using GET as default when doing searches? (I'm have no clue about any technical differences between POST and GET, just from the user perspective).
