Search Bar in Forums

Hello!

My suggestion is a search bar in the forums. I think this will be useful when people want to create a topic, but they don't know if it's there.

This way, unnecessary topics will not be created. Users can simply search for something in the Forums, and if they find it, they can contribute to that topic, without creating their own.

Another way this can be used is if you wanted to find a topic you commented on a long time ago, or you vaguely remember seeing it, and you would like to find it again. Using the search bar, you could easily find it!

Thank you for your support! 😃

*Maybe even adding a search bar for our Recent Posts and Recent Topics?

Thanks again~

@Whitefall I just suggested this a month ago...

@whitefire
Oh, sorry. ^^;
Well, this proves that if we did have this, we wouldn't have problems like this!

@Whitefall Exactly! I really LOVE this. Hey... *Gets triumphiant/sly look on face* Maybe if we get both of our topics going at once, they'll have a higher success rate! Here's mine: http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/26534 What do YOU think?

XD Our names are so similar!

@whitefall I'v been thinking about making this too! 😱 obviously, I think it is a good Idea

@whitefall
This is a great idea!! It would be so useful cause almost anything has been already posted and responded 😊

@whitefall I support this, threads/topics are often duplicated here frequently. This will help keep the forums clean, and also help users from duplicating others threads/topics; which I call low key spamming. It's when you somewhat spam, but don't know you're spamming. This will be a tremendous step.

@whitefall Thats what we have hashes and Ctrl + F for. 😋

@tear
Yes, but you wouldn't want to Ctrl+F 10 pages of different Forums (General Discussion, Chit Chat, etc)

That's what I do though, most of the time xD

@whitefall I always use Ctrl F and if it isnt on that page, I click the next page, press Ctrl F again and type enter 😋

@whitefall

I think this would be good, especially since a lot of people don't use hashes.

I totally agree! 😊 I actually suggested the same thing a looooong time ago here: http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/10805

It's dead, but it has some ideas on what forum searching would include. I really hope Ian is working on this. ^^ I hate not being able to find topics. xP
