Forum search enhancement. ** Please read **

[jaisonline]

Hello,

 

At Brickpicker, we strive to provide fast and easy access to the great content supplied by members.

 

Jeff recently made an awesome change to how forum searches work. 

 

Now when typing a set name or number in the forum textbox, the predicted top results will appear automatically and are click-able.  note: You can also still search the original way.

 

Here are three examples.

 

I want to ask a question about that popular Batman Arkham.  However, I can't quickly find the main thread (aka topic). Type "arkham" in the search box and the most popular Arkham threads appear automatically.  This is way cool and easy, right?   Now I can post my question in the correct thread. 

 

 

 

 

I forget the exact Helm's Deep set number but I know it begins with 947. Type "947" in the search and results are automatically shown.

 

 

 

I would like to search "10179" from the forums but then decide to see if any of the other apps contain information about this set.  This functionality is also available.

 

 

 

Happy searching.

Awesome. I've always found the search function frustrating, but this should help immensely. 

[dubzero]

Very nice! This should cut down my number of duplicate thread starts significantly.

[Grolim]

This is a great enhancement.  There should be far less duplication happening now.

It's alright I suppose, if you're into easy, well designed, straight to what you're looking for search engines! ;)

Why doesn't the word Cargo show any search results, when there is a whole thread titled Cargo Terminal?

Great upgrade - thanks!

What page ( URL) are you on when doing the cargo search?

 Main page. I can enter the set number, 60022, and that thread will show up but the words in the thread title like "cargo" and "terminal" do not produce results.

I need the URL you're on when doing the search.
