HS Search Feature

[craiggiarc]

What I think would be a cool idea would be the ability to load all the homescreens into a database so that it can be searched by certain criteria. eg keyword or more specifically plugin.

So that if you wanted to find all of the HS's which use Facade, you could just search on that or category 'Sport' and Orange.dll for example.

It would obviously be a lot work to initially setup but once setup it would be a great resource! Not sure that it could be a direct part of this site or whether there are other free sites that could host such a thing. Just thinking out loud really!

i sorta kinda put this http://mq.roeiboot.com/gallery_1/ up.. which has a decent search function, but the responses were so minimal that it never took off..

Awwwww, I'm sorry RB, I think that until it's completely populated and functioning fully the usage will be at a minimum and it's would be a lot of work initially too.

Good start though!

its not a bad idea
but you can search within threads
so if you opened up the collection thread and searched for 'facade' it would bring them all up...since rb and i say '(requires XXXX)' when the homescreens requires any additional plugins

but it wouldnt work for 'sports' or a general term
