Search improvement suggestion: customizable advanced options from search bar

Yesterday, 10:19 AM

I'd really like to be able to make the main search bar execute a Title-only search, rather than all content. I think one way of approaching this would be to allow either a per-user or ACP setting that set the "advanced" options to use when using the search bar: it could be limited to just the "Match" setting, or could include other options like the "Sorting" setting as well.

Search improvement suggestion: integrated Google (or other) searches

Yesterday, 10:16 AM

With the advent of the all-in-one search field with its attendant drop-down menu, it seems like it would be straightforward to add on to the end of that drop-down an option to do a Google site: search with the contents of the field. Perhaps even make this a customizable bit in the ACP where board operators can configure whichever search engines they would like to use.

Search improvement suggestion: advanced options for Sphinx users

Yesterday, 10:13 AM

I have no idea what percentage of Invision customers are using Sphinx for their searches, but for those of us that are, a couple small-ish tweaks would let us leverage the power of that engine. First, it would be great to allow sorting by relevance (Sphinx can calculate this in a number of different ways). Second, it would be nice to allow users to use the advanced Sphinx search syntax, instead of dumbing everything down to use "AND"s or "OR"s.

Number of posts to show per page user setting

14 May 2012 - 03:12 PM

Since our upgrade to 3.3 I've had a number of members complain about the lack of setting for number of posts per page to show. Is this setting (on a per user basis) still hiding away someplace, or is it completely gone? Any chance of getting it back? I don't want to increase it for all readers due to increased server load, but if 0.1% of my readers want to see 100 posts per page that won't affect anything, and it makes them happy.

Watch/Follow/Subscribe to tags

13 May 2012 - 04:20 PM

It would be nice for members to be able to watch tags, and get notified when someone posts a topic with a given tag, just like they can watch forums. The interface could even be put in exactly the same place, in the "tag forum" display.
