ez.no Search Improvements for the Forums

Wednesday 06 August 2003 8:42:22 am

A couple of improvements that I would like to see for the search capabilities of this site:

1. The ability to limit a search to all of the forums of a specific release number. I.e., when I search I don't want to see results in the forums for eZ publish 2.x as it doesn't apply to what I am working on. I would be willing to bet that users of 2.x feel the same about the 3.x forums.

2. The ability to search on user names. At this point it is rather complicated keeping track of every thread I have posted or commented on. Until we get notifications set up we have to bookmark every thread, or try to remember all of them. If I could search for all posts by a specific user I would be able to follow the various threads throughout the forums.

I'd find all of these things useful too.

The first thing that was mentioned, the ability to find things only for a specific eZPublish version, is I think a forum organization problem. Maybe the forums could be organized by version number, like the vBulletin forums at vbulletin.com are (say), the ability added to easily choose which forums to search through.
