Searchable titles in forums
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Rejected >
I would like to ask if we could possibly get a way to search the threads and forums for a certain keyword or something to that point to weed through and find certain things that we want to find. Such as in the trade forums where you would want to find gem trades, just type gem trades and it would show all posts for trades with that in the title.
Already Rejected
Edit: about 7 times already actually. I won't link them all though.
A bit more information than that thread has:

There is a big issue with something like this, and here's the example I like to use for it.
Let's say you want to search the Trade forums. You're trying to get a... let's say Beast Ball, since those are flying around right now.
So you search Beast Ball, right? Well... how would the search tell the difference between "Selling Beast Balls" and "Buying Beast Balls"?
Not to mention there are countless ways of actually writing that you have Beast Balls on offer. For instance, something like...
See the issue? To a human reading this, it's clear that the writer has a Beast Ball to sell (perfect!) but how would a search system know that?
It's a big issue in programming really, since it kind of relies on teaching the computer how to do a human understanding of post content, and that just really isn't possible here, sorry!

I mean even if that was the case at least you would have much less post to go through than searching though every post and every title. Maybe it won't separate sell and buy, but it would just pull key words out of posts to at least help reduce the amount of post to go through?
The problemm with even making titles searchable is there's a lot of titles that have "Items UFT" or "Summons UFT" or "Buying Summons" etc. Really vague things that if you're looking for a specific item, you might not get it in a title. Not to mention you're unlikely to find anything specific in a shop title.
This would - in my opinion - be too much trouble compared to just looking through a few pages of trade thread titles and clicking on ones that draw your interest.
Again, this all aside from the fact these suggestions have been rejected numerous times before.
