Suggestion;; Ability to do forum searches

ladybugheart • 30 November 2011 at 5:55 PM

Ability to do forum searches;;
I think it would be very beneficial and convenient if we had the ability to do forum searches. With this, users would be able to type in a word or phrase and find topics containing it. It would prevent duplicate threads and be helpful to users who can't find the topic they're looking for.

Forum searching would include;;
- ability to choose between searching entire threads or just titles
- ability to choose a certain sub-forum or thread to search under
- ability to find posts by a certain user
- ability to choose whether topics or posts are shown
- ability to choose a date in which the thread's last post will not be older/younger
- ability to choose whether or not you'd like an exact search

Feedback?

@hayz YAY. 8D

@awesomeness Yes, you are quite weird. jkjk xDD

I agree, this would be very useful and much easier to find out if there's already a topic about say, a Maximum Ride RP, it would be so much easier than having to scavenge through the forum just so that you don't double post.


Approved!

ladybugheart • 1 December 2011 at 12:43 AM

@hayz The green one was named Zack or something. xDD And the purple one was Wheezie. They had like, two heads or something. And the blue one was Ord, and the pink one was Cassie, and there was a girl named Emmie and a dude named Max.

Man, I have such a good memory. xDDD

Like this idea 😊

gvantsa • 1 December 2011 at 10:39 AM

I agree. We have a decently active forum with a lot of topics. It would be nice to be able to look up things.

Yes please once again. I've had to go to google to try and find certain type of Egg Cave topics 😉 A search on here would be wonderful

ladybugheart • 5 April 2012 at 5:13 PM

@ladybugheart
THANK YOU FOR SUGGESTING THIS~

I posted something like this a while ago, but people said, "Isn't that what hashed is for?" -__________-;

fyret1ger • 12 April 2012 at 3:14 PM

@whispers
The hash thing sounds like someone actually has to put the hash in their post for it to be counted and that's confusing.

An actual search bar in the forums would be less confusing says this newbie. It would also make the roleplay forum a million times easier to navigate.

I like to roleplay but I don't like feeling that I'm dropping in the middle of something. With the oldest or newest post calculations, I could find more roleplays that I might be interested in that are just starting up.

sstwins • 12 April 2012 at 6:04 PM

I could use this!

univea • 12 April 2012 at 6:10 PM
