Issue Summary
SUGGESTION:
If you quickly want to compare some modules for their popularity, it would be fine if one could do this:
1) Go to http://drupal.org/project/usage/
2) Nearby the column header "Project" there is a new filter text input field, where you insert a query like:
"module1|module2|commonTermInSomeModules|…" i.e. "box|show|light" to quickly get all kind of Lightbox type modules,
3) Confirm by clicking the "Filter" button.
You then get a ranking, only showing your modules of interest, and their respective rank/count, which gives you a good idea about their relative popularity. Even more useful if this too gets implemented: #1297804: Project usage: Option to display overall module usage statistics by Drupal version
REALIZATION:
1) Server side table column filter option
a) Full page reload after each filter trigger (highest server load)
b) Dynamic page reload (AJAX) (reduced server load)
2) Client side table filter script for a minimal server load. (Table data only loaded once, all manipulations then happen client side)
WORKAROUND:
Until this get's implemented, use my hint of how to achieve this with web browser plugins, such as TableTools2 for Firefox.
