I see the "Search Unread" button, but I'm unable to search with the button. If I put a term in the search box and click on the "Search Unread" button, nothing happens.

The GMail UI changes its element IDs from time to time. I've posted a fix to follow the latest change.

@Nekoshu: though I wouldn't be surprised that it's buggy and incompatible, try (a) reload the page, and (b) checking if there is a [Search Unread] button next to [Search The Web].

If not, I might need a copy of your DOM to troubleshoot (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/...)

Well mate, the idea is simply, slick and awsome :)
But I'm sorry to say I've installed the script (Using GreaseMonkey of course), and I cannot find the "Unread Mail" link anywhere :(

I use FireFox 3 on an Ubuntu (Linux) system.
Any updates ready? :P

L. asked if there's a way to see just the unread messages in GMail. Of course there is, it's searching for "is:unread".

Then he raised the stakes and asked if there's a way to do this with a single click. That took me a good part of the afternoon, because the GreaseMonkey scripts I found on the net were all old or non-functional in some way.

So I created a simple one. It adds a "Search Unread" button to your GMail UI. You need GreaseMonkey to use it. So...

1. Install GreaseMonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
2. Install my script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33056
