New detailed search option: Scope
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 3:43 pm
Webfork sent me a PM telling me that when searching for eg. "7-zip", he gets a lot of other entries with "zip" or 7-zip" in their description. He asked if there's a way to prioritize the actual 7-zip DB entry in the final listing.
After mulling over it, introducing another sort order that prioritizes search results with keywords found in the title turns out to be more complicated than I thought. A simpler way was to introduce a new parameter in the detailed search page called "Scope", that lets you determine which fields you want to search.
So for the example that webfork mentioned, searching for "7zip" within only "Keywords" will turn up the exact entry that he wants.
Thanks to webfork for bringing this to my attention. Do lemme know if you find any bugs.
