I will start by thanking you guys for doing such a great work on the Osiris portal system. It's p2p nature fits nicely and with ease into any community, you start feeling at home when browsing or posting on it. Some of us managed to work our way after one of our members, HostFat, suggested we should try using it right after you launched the 0.15 version.
Great, welcome!
Sorry for the delay of my response.

To begin with I can't find a search instance module that will present the user with a search box and will only do the searches in a predefined section. Do you know some way of doing it already or it has to be implemented ?
In the "Search module",
- check the "Show search param" under "Other params". This tell to instance to show also the fields to re-define the search, not only the results. All options you set in the instance, will be the default of the query.
- Under "Sections", specify the list of ID, delimited with ";". You can see the ID of a section, with a button "ID" in the Edit page or in the Assistant.
So, can be done. I know that:
- Maybe implement some properties about the layout of query params, mainly to show only the search field.
- We need to implement a "Section Picker".

Osiris has a mirror module i stumbled upon these days and could be very useful if it does what i guess it does. Tried mirroring some menu or text instances with no success, i only get an "invalid id" error and "cannot create object". It works only with sections id's but doesn't show nothing.
- Mirror object can mirror all objects except instance.
- A section have a property called "Component", that determine what component treat it and decide how to show the section. The most used is the component "Forum".
I think you mirrored section don't show anything because doesn't have a specific component. A section without a specific component (default) it's only a container.
Some story: "Mirror" was born to allow people to define a "Forum" section, and (with a Mirror Istance) to show it in the home-page.
In a developing version of Osiris, 1.0, this can be avoided, because the "root" section can become a Forum itself.
I don't realize just now what are other useful use of Mirror module. Maybe only to Mirror the same instance in different location/section without copy all properties (like a "Clone" tools).

Marking the new threads as "read" after you click them may be implemented somehow ? Very useful for the threads a user opened or commented too. It helps a lot to keep up with a large forum.
Yes, maybe possible. I sign it in feature request. Not priority, sorry.
We will work as a "local" information, we can't create a "read view" counter like other CMS, this is another think different from your request.
Sorry again for the delay, please ask anything you want to say.
Ciao!
