Make big search like You Tube or other sites to reduce spam?

[ALiEN95]

im not expecting that this will happen but i wonder what do you guys think about this
does it suck?,would it be good?,or probably unneeded?

i mean...
lot of new people are asking the same questions and so,instead using a good search and than if you don't find it you make a thread about it

here are some questing that keep repeating -.-

How to make Heroes have more than 10 levels ?
how to hide ability?
how to detect opening/closing of spellbook?
(btw its possible too and i saw tutorial that say its not -.-,but don't take about it now)
how to add ability to spellbook?
how to change icon of attack/patrol...
and so on.....................


it would if nice if people do this xD

first search,than make thread...

Those examples you named are rarely seen, as they are all written in tutorials. THW searcher is a bit bad, but if you try to scroll some pages or add more details to searcher you should find what you're looking for. YouTube searcher scans comments and titles for your given keyword/s in searcher. THW have waayyy too many threads with massive post counts, so adding YouTube like searcher would make searching even worse...

i didn't mean to add a searcher that works like you tube,just that it is a bit bigger (more noticeable) and better searching

and i don't understand why is a default search searching posts
so if you type something you will get all kind of threads

it should work on a way good enough so you can type what you want and get it if there was a thread made about it

i think it needs to be more noticeable because none of the new members uses it so a lot of questions are repeating for ages...

Well, you have option "Search thread titles only"

Why not put a search box in the homepage? xD it would be a pretty good thing actually o.o

that option is good but why is it not a default(normal) search ?

it is in a home page but its not noticeable i guess

It's like with computers. Computers are never "evil" or "stupid".
They are as stupid as the guys who uses them.

Same goes for the search. You need to adjust some options to get the best results and sadly most users just don't do that.

agreed...
but what is stupid to me is not to put a good search options and expecting other people will put good search options manually

however,i have a feeling this thread will end like this

"put search options like this and that and its all fixed"

How about a whole thread consisting of Frequently Asked Questions to help budding mapmakers?
