I think the major problem in finding stuff on trinituner or even on the D Facebook Bamboo is the fact that users may not use proper formatting.
For the trinituner forums we are currently working on a template for posting items for sale e.g.
In the car classifieds:
Prefix with FS / WTB / FT
Make:
Model:
Year:
Number Plate Series:
Mileage:
Colour:
Price:
etc etc etc
this should make the search work ALOT better.
Not sure how we plan to tackle bad spelling though. Someone posts "winsheen wipah" for sale and the buyer is correctly searching for "windshield" or "windscreen" "wiper"

For the prefix part maybe the easy way out rite now would be to convert / auto correct them to tags so when you click on that particular tab example F.S only F.S items will appear .
Example of the autocorrect for topic titles :
Autocorrect Without tags
For sale. ->F.S
4Sale -> F.S
4 Sale -> F.S
Want to buy -> W.T.B
Wnt2buy -> W.T.B
Wnt to buy -> W.T.B
W2B -> W.T.B ..............
With tags
For sale. -> #F.S
4Sale -> #F.S
4 Sale -> #F.S
Want to buy -> #W.T.B
Wnt2buy -> #W.T.B
Wnt to buy -> #W.T.B
W2B -> #W.T.B ..............
that would be perfect but not as easy to implement as you'd think.SMc wrote:What about a drop down menu where the fields/input are preset so there are no errors? I can 't even imagine the amount of variations there are for every word on this forum...
