improving the search function

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Hi I wanted to give feedback so the next time Conceptart.org forums gets rewamped is tiny bit better. It would be great if you could add a function to the search that if let's say you search for something with two words then you can pick that it will only search for threads or posts which the single thread title or inside a single post those two words are.

Does that make sense? Would make the search function much more precise and reduce the amount of new threads about the same subject created cause it was easier to find stuff.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestions yousa. I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly what you mean, however. Could you try explaining it a little more? Thanks.

Hi Emily,

Of course. So when you are in the advanced search page and there is the area called "Search by key word" and there is the input field for the key words and a drop down menu which says "search entire post" and "search titles only". If it would have a check box option as well with the function "search only if both of the key words match". This way you could narrow down your search quite a bit. And having the drop down menu with the search only in the title or inside a post then it would work with that as well. I've seen similar option to this somewhere, can't remember where though.

Does that explain it?
