Website Search Feature Blows
 
Anyone else notice this? Half the time when I am trying to find a page again on the maemo.org wiki I find it faster by going to google than I do by searching through the actual page search...

Setting a *descriptive* summary for a thread helps if you want some comments actually... ;-) I initially thought you talk about search in the Mameo Browser.

Hence the Power Search option: http://talk.maemo.org/msearch.php

(also see side menu)

Tags also help to some extent.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask this for a while: where's the tag GUI? I can't find anything to tag any thread with, I thought maybe it's restricted but I've seen tagged threads started by people with one post. I've even disabled filters and blockers. It's frustrating.

(Am I hijacking?)

See teeny tiny "edit tags" link, lower right of post window.

I don't have a link or I'm simply off my rocker.

There is no link on the post window. The window you read now (thread view) has no tags link.

There's your post, then the quote and reply and thanks links, then "Post reply" button, then a "Tags" link tat takes me to the tag cloud and the tags underneath that take me to the tags.php?your+tag+here. And then there's the quick reply box then previous/next thread, then currently viewing, then forum jump.

If you mean the post windows as in replying, there's a collapsible "Additional options" with rating and stuff, collapsible Topic Review and collapsible posting rules.

I also grepped the HTMLs of both the forum window and the reply window. All "tags" hits were accounted for in the text, the only like is the tags link.

Adblockplus is off, element hiding is disabled.

I can understand it hiding in plain sight, but in html? I should have found it by now. I'm on Firefox 3.5.7 W7 x64.

Perhaps I could bother you for a screenshot?

Right at the bottom of the thread, in tiny grey text. I agree, it's not easy to spot.

I can't do a screenshot at the moment... but just below the orange "Post Reply" button at the lower left you should see a grey bar. On the left it contains the "Tags" link and on the right a link named "Edit Tags". If you don't see that I don't know why not...

EDIT: Kathy is a ninja! :eek:

ROFL: "i am a tag". Seriously.. the tags in this forum are *awesome*.

On my original note..

You people and your assuming the use of the orange and white theme :D. I have no side-bar! And what orange "post reply" button?? ;)
