OS suggestion: Search Option.

Question

k_lynn · Answer

I think it'd be really cool if OpenStudy had a search option.  It usually takes a while for other users to answer my questions and they probably have already been answered before.  THere should be a search option to search users, tutorials, and questions like on ask.com.  What do you guys think?

@Preetha do you think you could add one sometime?

k_lynn · Answer

I also think there should be a search button because sometimes, really helpful users leave your question right away.  Then you forget their username and you never get to fan them.

That would be a good spot

jigglypuff314 · Answer

I personally think that adding a search bar will make the cheating problem on here a lot worse :/

k_lynn · Answer

THat's a good point.

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

That is a really good point! :D maybe a search bar just for users?

k_lynn · Answer

that's what I was thinking

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

Like to find other users I mean

k_lynn · Answer

A search bar for searching the users of openstudy

k_lynn · Answer

However, if you could search questions, I don't think there would be as many questions lagging the system

jigglypuff314 · Answer

idk whenever you try to tag someone the suggestion list comes up with the current online users and you fans

jigglypuff314 · Answer

it's not the questions that lag the system xD

k_lynn · Answer

There's still a lot of them, though

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

True, but not all of them come up on the suggestions list when tagging someone.

jigglypuff314 · Answer

yes, as I said, the current online users and your fans/people you have fanned would appear in that suggestion list
if not, you would get a ton of useless dead account suggestions :P

k_lynn · Answer

True.  It kind of makes me annoyed when people don't close their questions after like a few months of having them opened.  I think it would be cool if mods could go in and delete some of those.  Unless they're like tutorials or something helpful.  But I get that the mods are really busy

That's on my profile jiggly :) http://webyab.hostoi.com/search.html

jigglypuff314 · Answer

ohhhh xD ^ k

k_lynn · Answer

I like that search bar @Abhisar but I think it would be cool if you didn't have to go to a totally different page to search something for OS.

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

I think so too @k_lynn

jigglypuff314 · Answer

you can put it in the suggestion box http://openstudy.com/users/thomaster#/updates/5377b7d5e4b0ba022d36af38

k_lynn · Answer
