This is a neat tool, and I played around with it some when you first asked about it, but didn't have time to code anything up.
I have reservations about tools that encourage "Untargeted" searches. To show you what I mean, I went to our advanced search page and looked at our most recent searches.

In other words, the majority of the use of our Advanced Search feature now comes from people looking for licensed music, not VGM. We've got a good server, but we don't have the deep pockets that some of the big commercial sites have, and this is still load that is really a waste for us. Those searchers don't want VGM results, but it's easier to just blindly search everything.
Also, the recent search window is now completely useless.
