New "keywords" field

I have added a new "Keywords" field to help improve search results:

Quote:

Put keywords here separated by spaces to improve search results. For example, if the title/description contains "Q-Dir", it will not appear in the results when the user searches for "qdir" or "q dir". This is due to strings shorter than 3 characters being ignored by the MySQL search engine. So in this example, putting "qdir" in the keywords field will help the entry appear in the results when the user searches for "qdir". The content of this field will not appear in the entry listing at all.

I have updated the entry for Q-Dir, so seaching for "qdir" now _will_ bring up the correct entry. This beats searching for "q-dir site:portablefreeware.com" in Google, I hope.

I have also moved the "Additional features" field to the "Optional fields" section. Hope it doesn't confuse anyone...

Great!

"findability = usability" in TPFC's case. Thanks for all your work and the generosity towards the community.

I have just added two new search options:

- Search for private entries aka "[#]"
- Search for public + private entries aka "[@]"

Thanks for this update :!:
