A search function would be a lovely addition to halfbakery
because it would make finding ideas of interest a quicker
process and, I wager, reduce near-duplicate postings as a
result.
True, near-duplication doesn't seem to be a grave problem
at
the moment, but the new, more distinctly categorized
interface "hides" an idea based on someone else's idea of its
proper category, making it much more likely that a user will
fail to notice a parallel entry before posting.

I would say let a search engine (Altavista, Infoseek) crawl the whole site, then place their search form and button on a page somewhere. It looks like this site is comprised of real, tangible webpages, not manufactured on the fly with PHP or something. I know that Infoseek and others lets you constrain your search to one domain only, so one can set that as a flag in the FORM code of your search form. |

It's quick and dirty, but might suit your needs until you find time to write one! |
|
| |
Here's an example code (edited and pulled from my site). It will search spidered Halfbakery pages only, and display the results at the Infoseek/GO Network site: |

<FORM method="get" action="http://www.infoseek.com/Titles">

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a search!
I posted an annotation to an idea a few weeks ago and I can't find it anywhere!! |
|
| |
Hey, it works... what fun! I hadn't realized I'd annotated
that many things. |
|
| |
Out of curiosity, how'd you
implement it? |
|
| |
Hashtables mapping the words from your querying
To hashed names of objects the words might appear in
Then grepping those objects (as lower case strings)
These are a few of my favorite things. |

I've subjected the new search to rigorous vanity-search testing, and have concluded that it is a beaut. Half the suggestions in this category made obsolete at a blow. |
