Thread Search!!!

Suggestion Title: Thread Search Suggestion Summary: Yes, I know this has been suggested MANY times and when I was searching for if this has been suggest before all I could find was using key words to find a very specific thread. This would be for searching the name of the thread. I just thought this suggestion was a bit different that ones before to be considered Have you ever seen a thread post and your trying to find it again? With the Thread Seach feature, you will be able to seach for that specific thread in a certain catagory. My idea is that the seach bar would be located at the top of the forums list (ex: first thing on top of the "Trades forum list there is an search bar). If not, I sepreate page that searches all forums (like the user search feature). Also this can help with wheither or not the thread you are seaching for was deleted. This feature would not replace the forums and turning them into a seach engine, it would just be an additional thing to the site. Positive points: - Quality of life - Makes it easier to find a specific thread - Avoids hours of searching for a specific shop/ thread you forgot to sub to Negative points: - Could just be a seprate page (similar to player search) - Can't use key words Reason For Consideration: This is definatly a quality of life feature for the forums that could help out players when they need to find a specific shop/ thread again without seaching for it hours to find the right one. Very useful if you forgot to sub and can't find the thread again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Feel free to leave feedback or your own suggetions! Edit: Took out catagory/tag feature since I didn't see it was rejected before

This has been rejected multiple times and "hard to code" is not a valid con If you knew this has been suggested before why are you suggesting it again? https://pokefarm.com/forum/thread/273086/Once-again-Forum-Search, https://pokefarm.com/forum/thread/234111/Search-Forums, https://pokefarm.com/forum/thread/165997/Search-Engine Reason:

So I am guessing that you are looking for more of a 'search by tag' function? Unfortunately, as Constantine points out in the following quote that was taken from this thread, the largest issue for any search function in the forums would be the lag, which is something that this version of the site is not able to handle well. However, there might still be another way to organize the trade forums that would not cause such issues. I'm not so sure how that would be laid out at the moment. Sub-forums of 'LF:' and 'UFT:' might be something interesting, but I imagine that issues of threads that are not quite either would arise, and having many sub-forums would cause it to look rather cluttered. Perhaps with a little bit of exploring of the alternatives to a direct search bar, a helpful resolution to the problem can be found!

@Vaporeon: Thought this idea was a bit different that the ones suggested before, which all suggested using key words. My idea was just to search by forum name @Duusu: Didin't see the seach by tag feature one so thanks for pointing it out. Also I did consider suggesting UFT/ LF threads but, like you said, could make the forums look cluttered and could go off topic

I'm moving this to rejected based on all of the responses in the previous threads. We will not be adding a search bar to the forums. There isn't much sense in searching for the name of a thread because threads have different names and can change. If you want to keep track of a thread, you can always subscribe to it.
