I sugests to add new parameters to search engine


  • Message icont type
  • No. of Attach
  • TOPIC STATUS = Open/Closed
  • Topic Additional Status:
    Topic you have posted in
    Normal Topic
    Hot Topic
    Very Hot Topic
    Locked Topic
    Sticky Topic
    Poll

I think the poll, locked, and sticky topic would be a good search feature to add, it would make sense, and could drastically help someone find what they are looking for if they know for a fact that it has a poll.

However, as I was typing that sentence, I don't think to search if it is a sticky topic or not, would help at all, if you are trying to find a sticky topic, it should be at the top of the board :P

yes
I agree

but what about:

  • Message icon type - this can be very usefull for example "Exclamation point" it's mean - very important post
  • No. of Attach
  • TOPIC STATUS = Open/Closed

CASE STUDY:
how to find a post with this specyfic parameters:

  • post is opened  -> TOPIC STATUS = Open
  • post is set as very important -> "Message icon" = "Exclamation point"
  • I remember the post was with attachments
  • with a "engine" string in subject

I can even donate if this Feature will be done.

I really need that Feature.
