You have put together a good site.

I was wondering if you could improve on the site's search capabilities.

The site cannot handle phrases (for example: "better in person") enclosed in quotes. This search will generate a list for every instance of where any of these three words appear on this site, instead of generating a list of where this phrase is found on this site.

Also, once a search word is found, the generated list produces the thread where the word is contained, but does not direct the user to the page within the thread or the location within the page. Because some threads run for a dozen pages or more and some pages can be quite long, could you make it possible for the user to be directed to the exact location of the search word within the page of the thread.

There is a lot of information on this site, but it can be difficult to obtain, without a search mechanism that allows the user to reduce the number of hits generated from a search.


Thanks,
Helpmann :)

helpmann,
good point about the search function. hopefully there is some way that DT can tweak it to make it more robust. i had a similar problem in the past. search for something and get pointed to a 30 page thread with no clue where in the thread the result was located. one or the other of the 2 WSG sites has a much more compliant search engine. it'd be good to emulate it if possible.

Yeah, one guy may decide to have "filet mignon" and shell out US$100, but shit I could just as well give that money to six girls (more like three x 2: 1 group in the morning and 1 group in the evening) who will service me well. If I lose $60 playing poker in the States or spend $20 for lunch, I don't translate the expense into opportunity cost (pussy lost), but when I'm in the DR it's a different story...

Oh well,
Helpmann :wave:
