Search names.

This is just kind of a-"how lazy can we be" suggestion...but when i am looking for a persons profile who might not be in my fav's list (since it's full...lol) i type their name in the search box. Then it puts up all their poems and I click one-and then click the person's name from their. Or sometimes there are poems listed by a bunch of diff people with the same name (such as megan) and I'm not sure which is who until I find the right profile...which takes twice as long because I have to go through the poems. I think when you search a name (or even title in some cases) all the profiles having to do with that (such as all the profiles with the name disturbed...etc.) should pop up as a direct link to the profile. Tell me if I make no sense and I'll try to explain better!!! LUv yall VERY much...
peace and laterz...

I think this is a good idea! =)

~Grace

ya i was gonna post sumthing for that too cause i remember the name of the person not the poem cause theres alot of poems on here

good idea! =)

I agree, Good idea

ya it would make things a lot easier

I fully agree...i had to add my last name b/c there are so many Christina's...it's crazy.

-refresh-

hehe-i have refreshed a few other old topics too that i thought were good ideas...but this was the one i was originally looking for-i thought i would refresh this one instead of typing it again...lol

thnx!

i like it, sounds like a great idea

or perhaps when you search have an additional scroll menu where you select if its a name or a poem or even where a person lives that your searching for

ya that sounds good to...like maybe a subject, keyword, title, and author button to select what you are searching for...and then the actual search box...hmm...interesting idea!!

~Edited out!~

extra idea:

comments--if we can see what comments everyone leaves that would be neat

but the extra search would be good, instead of location maybe just "user detail"

I'm not sure exactly what you mean Jacki...but when u said "user detail" I thought of like that category of search that would bring up any match to a word in the top of the profile (the Name Age...stuff like that...not the self typed portion). Hmm...tell me if that's not what you meant!!

Thnx,
Sierra Rae

okay-like the thousandth time I've posted in this one...but I again want it on the top page because I feel very strongly about this one and I really want it put in place sometime...or just to know that Janis saw it and has it in the back of his mind...so okay here we are again ~refresh~

--Sry!! Thnx,
Sierra Rae

So we have a place to search right...ok here is what I ment:

Search term:(this is where you would type what you are looking for)

Categories for your searching options:

Poem Titles:(obvious)
Poem Details:(what category its in love, dark, life, misc, etc)
Comments:(you could search for comments that people left)
Votes:(I think it would be neat to search for what people rate on poems)--This would also solve the who votes 1's. (for those who care)
User Details:(locations, age, etc)

OKay I like all of the above except votes...I don't think this site will ever have any system for identifying who voted what for obvious reasons...I'm pretty sure it's been basically ruled out. But the rest of that I love it's a great idea, oh ya-and we need to add the category Author: (duh!) I think since that is the reason for the post anyway. I really like that idea but Janis if you can't do that can we at least have links to the author profiles that include the term we searched??

well you can search for names...type in lets say "jacki" and you get jackie and jacki etc...

now type in California you get poems w/ that title and the place where the poet is from

etc etc......

not really-what you get is, say you typed Sierra Rae, you would get all the poems by Sierra Rae, and to get to that profile and complete list of featured poems and recent poems you would have to click the name once inside the poem. Now that's not a big problem with my name because it's the only Sierra Rae on the site (as of right now) but say I typed Ashley...I would get all the poems by a person named ashley...but there are many of them and you can't tell by looking at the poems which one it is. It takes twice as long to go through a poem, look at the profile, decide it's the wrong one, go back, click another ashley poem, maybe get the same profile maybe get a different one, wrong, go back...etc etc. I'm talking about if I searched the name Ashley, I would get a list of profile links first...and while I may get trial and error a little before finding the right profile, it wouldn't take nearly as long.
And the California thing, all I got from that were poems with the word California in them and the poet named California. So I have no clue what you were talking about there...

u lazy u but good idea

*please*!!!! I really would like this in place...plz!!!

This is a great idea, and another idea plaigerized!!!! I have been thinking this for a few weeks and im sick of people telephathically stealing my *brilliant* thoughts!! hehe. Anyway good idea... they should do it.

Keep in mind you can search by alphabet and stuff too though, lazy people lol

lol-well ya you can search alphabet but theres no member search within the whole members area...ooh that's a good idea too!!! see i went in to that whole alphabet thing...and like okay lets say were searching Sunshine. Instead of clicking the numbers at the bottom you can indeed just go to the end and then backtrack from there, but say it was Broken...that's in the middle so it doesn't help to back track so then you have to click the whole little number things at the bottom...like 5, 9 14, and you cant just skip to the number page you want because it only shows 8 or so numbers at the bottom...
example:< < < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 > > >
so you have to click the numbers and you couldn't just pick page 50...you'de have to click the last available number until you could see the number 50...get what Im saying??? so maybe just incorporate a member name search in the members area instead of changing the whole search feature-although i still like the original idea...so there were links to the profiles right in the search results. ooh...but there is a disadvantage to this...if you search a common name you would get 30 profile links before any poems...oh no!!

~~~OKAY NEW IDEA!! PUT A SEARCH BOX IN THE MEMBERS SECTION WHERE WE COULD SEARCH BY NAME...THNX FOR LISTENING!!!~~~

lol...i love talking to myself like this...

Thnx again!
