Community Feedback: how can the site improve?

[ProStar]

this is the most drastic one.

Idk I think it delivered a quality post as a top result

search: the hd 2x2 method. result: cfop vs roux

Sometimes it will cut off keywords that are included in the search, which provides a completely unrelated topic

Can you guys please give specific queries that you're testing so we can use them as benchmarks? Thanks

Spoiler: Uncropped images

First 2 are normal search, second is XF

I’ll search and it just stays at this page, no matter what I search

Guys I found out why signaures can be so long, if the whole line is filled with characters the line is not counted as a line. Idk if this helps the mods fix the issue

Yeah the search function just doesn't work, it always says my keywords are too long or common.

 

[abunickabhi]

Does anyone have an issue with the search function on this site?

I do, it does not return any result sometimes which is weird yo.

 

[fes_77]

I think this would make only my life easier

Make an option for this : D not turn into (when I dont have a space between it)

XF search is way better than the default search option. Also when you're on XF search and click on a new page, it switches back to default search

Please try again guys and let us know if it is better. If you come across a query that doesn't return what you expected or if you can't find what you're looking for, please post the query here and what is missing from the result. We've made some big changes to the search engine. Thanks

I'm honored

Working well, thank you very much moderators!

 

[abunickabhi]

Works well, thanks pjk!

Any chance we could lock old WR threads after a certain time? Somewhat jarring having them come up as new posts when they're old records, particularly in the middle of big competitions.

Just bumping this suggestion. Perhaps we could have a "previous records" thread or similar where users can reminisce about previous solves from many years ago.

 

[ProStar]

I don’t know how possible it is (or if there’s already a way to do it I’m not aware of), but I’d like to be able to use the search function while filtering it down by thread and date, in addition to the person filter

A "Creative" reaction would be pretty cool. Not sure what the best emoji/logo for it would be, but there's often times when I see a clever post that doesn't seem to be done justice by a Like or a Haha.

Having A "Useful" reaction would also be, uh, useful. It could be utilized as a way to express that a post isn't just good or worthy of a Like but that it actively gives a solution or piece of advice that you agree with. I feel it would hold more weight in those contexts than simply giving a post a Like.

If these were to be added, I think the reaction menu could definitely become very crowded. I'm inclined to say that Eyes Up and Meh could be merged into one reaction (either one works); I don't think they provide that much individual usefulness.

Also, while on the topic of changing reactions, the Eyes Up, Meh, and Confused reactions could all look better by using the XenForo default emojis (like the other emoji reactions do), rather than (I think) Apple's emojis: :rolleyes:, , .
