monkdiscuss footpad As some of you may have noticed, I've been trying to do a bit of research on the past nodes. I've been looking for a number of things, including best practices, specific techniques, and so on. Would anyone else find it useful to add some options to Super Search? Specifically: <READMORE> <OL><LI>Date Range fields, for locating nodes posted during a set of time. For example, "show me all nodes referring to security in the last two years."</LI> <LI>A Posted By field, to locate information posted by a specific user. For example, "find relevent nodes posted by merlyn."</LI> <LI>An Ignore Posts By checkbox would return all nodes except those posted by the monk entered into Posted By. For example, "and ignore the ravings of [footpad] in this search."</LI> <LI>An Order By field similar to the one that currently appears in PM User Search. Continuing the example: "and order them by best reputation."</LI> <LI>A category field that restricts the search to a specific monastery area, e.g. Snippets, SOPW, etc.</LI> </OL> While I hesitate to add anything to [vroom]'s plate, it seems to me that this would help improve the overall research capabilities of Super Search. After all, there is a great deal of useful information buried in various threads and these extensions might make it useful to dig that out. Thoughts? Reactions? Comments?
