Forums - Website Topics - When VGChartz will have better search feature

In my view the most disappointing feature on VGC is search on this site.. so most of the time i m using google to search on this website.. but google usually dont have very recent port indexed so its really annoying at times. So i have two suggestion if they can be put on feature to be add list in the future:

 

1. Add the grouping to the regular articles which are published on VGChartz, like monthly NPD Preview, weekly Japan Preview. so if someone clicks on Japan Preview of 23-11-2009 he can also find quick links to Japan Preview of of 16-11-2009, 9-11-2009 n so on.. maybe there is a link for more which shows all the Japan Previews done so far in Most recent to the last one.

2. Add the option of searching the thread with thread creator/OP name.. so if i want to see all the threads i have created i can quickly do that.. ( i think this feature is pretty common)

Thanks.. 

But still very great site n forums..

Or, rather, when will we see a thread preview feature... =/



I can't find the first thread that I made.




Actually i was just searching for one of Jacobs? article which discussed/predicted end of gen PS3, Wii, XBOX numbers in Japan..
n it so annoying on how to find it.. only if i can search articles published by jacob with keywords it would have been lot easier..

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, as far as #2 on your list there - but if you go to your profile (or anyone's for that matter) and check their 'recent posting' box, you'll see a filter to switch between recent postings and posts started by that user. Was just added about a week ago...

Edit: And yes, it is fairly new and still needs a bit of tweaking - but as is this case with all good things, you have to start somewhere...  :)

 

My apologies, i didn;t see it.. 

thanks again... 

btw these were just minor annoyances.. but overall u ppl r doing awesome job... but as they say there is always room for improvement.. thats wot i was trying to do ..

Ah neat... Hadn't noticed that but that's a good feature..... just need to be able tot view ALL threads though, as at the moment it is only the most recent (clicking on all posts takes me to all 10k of them as usual)

Still, as I haven't made many threads I can view all the way back to March.



Better than nothing at all, but I get used to it after that.
