|
|
I use the search function at forums often, since my questions have usually been answered before. At Dave's, some useful features have not been enabled:
"Search this thread"
This one allows you to click on a thread then search for a term within a thread. For example, if I type "yearly savings" in the main search function then a few threads come up with 12 pages, I do not want to go to each page within that thread looking for "yearly savings." I could just use that feature and it would take me directly to the post.
"Search Thread Titles Only"
This one is enabled at most boards that have a format like this. In the main search function, one is able to search just within the titles of threads. So if I search "Judo" and want only threads that are dedicated to judo to show up, rather than a whole bunch of threads that casually mention judo somewhere, then I use this.
Can these be enabled? I think they would improve the site. |

It's been broken as long as I've cruised the forum. No one seems to care except people who need to search.
I go to google and type "eslcafe.com" plus whatever words I need to search for. |

Perhaps sending sperling an email would yeild better results than complaining about it to everyone here.
alternatively send king of kwangju a pm - I think he is the web master for dave. |

Funny you say that. What do you mean *broke* precisely? It works really well for me. |

It doesn't work at all. Trolls who say use the search function are the worst. They have obviously never tried. |

I figured the mods read these forums. Anyway, the thread serves a purpose. If other people agree I can email the link to Dave.
Do you think I'm complaining or simply making a request/suggestion? |
