Change to search function

Wed Nov 03, 2004 3:13 pm

Anyone else notice this?

When you use the sidebar search, it now pops up a 4-wide image table with images of everything related to your search - type in Aisha, you get species, pets, items, and greetings.

And all in nice image-table format.

I liked when I could just type in a username and not click anything to go to the lookup.

Eeek no! Bad! It's too image intensive.. like try searching a random species name and you'll get a long table of images that take time to load, instead of just a list of words. It's like going to one of those Size 100 shops. BAD.

And then there's the extra step of clicking even though there's only one search result.

Although, it is rather nifty. Just.. loading time.. :(

I liked that too... Since my username doesn't have a pet with the same name...
But I like how it shows the pets pic and users avatar :)

well... something happens if you search for "treasure" or "asparagus" :P

I love it! It's really cool, and it's so much easir to see what you're looking for! Also I love the new avatar thing, where you see what avatar someone's using! :)

I wish they implimented the same avatar thing to neomail (kinda how a buddy icon is displayed in AIM or something)

It's actually quite nice (although I wish they would number the treasure map pieces since they come up on search like they do >_<)

wow, much better if you're looking for an item, you don't need to look through a big list of items now :)

I like it a lot. It is so neat to be able to see pictures of things now. I wonder if this can be used to find things that are unreleased, but the picture is up on the server already?

Yay! There's another reason to collect avatars you like, people can see them there if they don't go on the Neoboards or a guild, how cool!

Something else neat - it lists a lot of items that aren't R99...like TCGs and collectible items.

That's a nice touch.

Oh great. Now people have another reason to desire a special avatar :roll:

i love it.. :D

but for some people with dial-up they should have an option in site prefences for this..

I think it's awesome, much easier. And you can tell what avatar each user is using. Heh.
