Title: inproving search
Post by: Leticia_A on December 24, 2011, 10:05:51 AM
I think would be a good idea to be able to search with special characters like* than could make the search more easy.

Sometimes I want to look for a nick but dont remember exaclty the name, only how started or some part of the name. That make imposible to find out.
Waht I suggest is for example use "Leticia*" in the search and the results would be all user with name starting by Leticia (as mine).


Sorry for my english...

Regards,
Leticia

it's clear that it could be good to have more options for our searches, not only by names as you suggest but also by skin color (don't see in it any racism but sometimes some girls, real or not, want a black guy), hair colour, body type for male, size od the breast...

a sorting system in the members section of the website could be good too, fed up of searching for long minutes to find the right profile of someone who's not in my friend list

I like the idea of being able to search by part of a users name.  That would make it easier to find someone you dont remember her full name.

I agree, and it's common enough with search functions that one would think the coding is fairly available.

Or even his, should anyone be interested in finding a man!

Well, some women do.  I prefer women, but a man is good once in awhile. 

Men are alot like elephants, nice to look at, but I wouldn't want to own one.

Keiko, could we have a poll maybe to get this topic out there again. We need to be able to search with wildcard characters, sometimes you know part of the name but not all of it. I cant see where it would be that hard to add, and it woud make it nice to find who we want to.
Title: Re: inproving search
Post by: Lover on March 08, 2012, 08:00:21 PM
I'm not sure if a poll is needed. Cause the answer will be unique: 100% vote "yes, we need wildcard search"

I also wanna add a suggestion I made long time ago:
On the right side of screen you have the arrows to jump forward and back one page. Why don't we have the chance to jump to the last and first page?
One arrow to the right side: Next page    Two arrows to the right side: Go to last page
Of course same with left arrows.

Hey there...

 I could not find a topic to suit my suggestions, so I'm going to put them in this one.  It is kinda along the search line.

 I have a couple of suggestions for the search.  Would it be possible for the people who have demonstrated that unique ability to get onto my ignore list to NOT show up in my search results?  I mean, if I ain't gonna to talk to 'em why should I even see 'em?  And... I would love to be able to block some avatars from poppin up on my screen... y'all have to admit, some of them can be annoying.

 Another thing, I would like to have the ability to move my friends around in my friends list.  I ain't got many, but the one person I always check to see if he is on or not is at the very end of my list.  I would like the ability to move this person up the list to the first page.

 Thanks for looking.

yes , both your requests are good , and i support these ideas
Title: Re: inproving search
Post by: Lover on August 27, 2012, 11:52:55 AM
We have talked very long ago about moving friends on your list. The answer is as simple as poor. It's not able because the lists are automatically sorted by the database. As it's depending on a software it would be possible to change but obiously the A-Team doesn't want it.

Same with people on your ignore-list. They are shown because these people are online. The list is equal for everyone.
In my opinion it's not really a problem. You recognize them because they have a black star. They can't flood you with invites or messages.

We also asked if it's possible to see your spouse-lover-friends online before all the other ones. But the answer is the same - the list is sorted equal for everyone. Sorry.

kittenlepurr just raised a point on another thread about search (I don't have a problem with load speed) so I thought I would raise this thread again.

Being able to use wildcards seems such a simple request to implement. Even simpler is to make enter the default for Start button, so that having entered the info. you want to search for you just have to hit enter to start the search rather than find the Start button with the mouse (particularly useful when you have just finished typing a name in).

Also, as this thread seems to have strayed a bit from the original post, one thing I find annoying is that, having listed my friends, I can't list my lovers without showing myself again. Why does it change to his/her? I have rarely been interested in who are lovers/friends of someone else.

Also, it would be nice to be able to quickly redo the last search. For example, having done a search and been presented with the results, someone contacts you and you hit the ? to bring their details up, it would be nice to just hit another button to go back to those results rather than bring up search again.

Concerto added a lot of good ideas. Wildcards is a must be in my eyes. And all the other ideas I completely support. Again I bring back an old idea of mine... on the right side you have arrows to go to next and previous page. Why can't we also have double-arrows to jump to last and first page?

Post by: Cheya on November 30, 2012, 11:21:32 AM
I support the ideas as well, would like to have a sound or a notification when a friend comes online too ;). Why dont we sticky one thread, edit it and collect the best ideas to get a better overview for us and the achat developer ? ;D ;D ;D

Cheya, I'm thinking about it as I mentioned in another thread... just need some time (sigh...)
