Searches: The New System

Archive: 5 posts


Well with the great addition of the "similar threads" box that appears when you enter the title name, I was wondering if it was possible to add this to the "search" drop-down box. IE, you just click the arrow, and then write what you want to search, check the "Display here" box, and the name of the threads come up. This would also mean that you can middle-click to open the threads in a new page, instead of having to leave the one you're on.

What I would also ask to be included is a "This forum only" box. This would mean running a search in the Level Showcase forum would show only levels, if you wanted it to, and not get keywords crossed with random topics.

There's only one live search option available at the moment, and it's not very good (I just tried it) - it interferes with other things on the page as it launches it's own DHTML window. If a better one comes along, I'll give it a shot - it's a good idea.

Well, you could use the "Search This Forum" option in the Forum Display. It's on the right in the grey bar that says "Threads in Forum".

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand about the first one, I hope it'll be implemented soon. As for the second, that's good to know, but could it be added to the forum view inside a thread?2009-04-30 21:29:00

I've added a "Search containing Forum" link in the "Search this Thread" dropdown box. That should help.
