Anti-Search Apart of the Search

~TraurigerFechter Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I was trying browse some artwork and every time I get some other shit instead filling up the page. Type in a country, you get Hetalia, type in metaphysical terms, you get homestuck, type in anything else, you get ponies and Sonic.

Something amazing came to mind in the process, an Anti-search feature. After you search something, you have a second bar to enter words that will automatically remove the piece from your search if that word shows up in the name, description, or tags.

Do it dA, it will be one of the best features to the site.

I'll lock this for you as this feature already exists

This is already a feature of the search.

When the hell did they come up with that?

`nokari Nov 21, 2012 Professional Interface Designer

It has always worked like that. Nearly ALL searches on other sites work the same way, including Google.

ffuck...well, now I know. Never heard of that being used anywhere. Any way to delete this thread?

FAQ #709: I need to request a forum thread closure, where do I go for help?

~TraurigerFechter Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Was hoping for some quicker way but guess Help Desk will do. I should just read every FAQ one day, probably more stuff in there I'm not aware of.

You know what we need? A link beside the Search bar to a page that explains how the fuck to use the search.
