Search Module improvements

Post by viebig »

Some nice ideas

1. Simple SEO serch URL like /search/keyword
2. the module name 'search' that appears on the url can be anything like /find/keyword, this should be available for other modules too.
3. Three main kinds of results:

A. Just like it is now
B. With summary text and highlighted keywords
C. Ability to add a picture per content(should be possible adding a content block just with name url of the picture.

I would like to add to this great list is the search results links go to the page that they would be on, (noticed when I was searching out side of the page the album when I clicked the search link I came to the same location (the page I started the search on) and the Album was loaded but since there is scripts tie to the page the album lives on ... everything don't work...  yea...  ::) any ways...

1.) Redirect options
2.) Support for more of the top modules (noticed the is holes)
3.) Weighted word index, would also be good for the keywords

Wish list
1.) Page preview
2.) Merge tag cloud with this... I think this a logical consolidation
3.) Search types (google/Site/news/img/blog/forum/the result of improvement 2.)

It already has a parameter to send it to a certain page for the results to appear on...

one more thing supress accents and special chars, for example the word 'média' should return 'media' results too, priorizing the accented ones
