Forums » Suggestions & Development Discussion » Profile tags & search

It doesn't look like this has been brought up, at least not anytime recently, but do correct me if I'm wrong...

I think it'd be nice to be able to search character profiles by keywords rather than just names. Searching through the whole profile would no doubt be a mess, so I suggest an input for keywords/tags.

So, for example, if I want to find a character relevant to something like Pokemon or MLP, or I'm looking for a fantasy character, or specifically a werewolf, or a character who's insane, etc... I could type what I'm looking for into the search and find characters with matching tags.

I'm sure such a thing would likely get a bit messy, but maybe we could have a standard to go by for tags? Like, keep things singular rather than plural, maybe tag suggestions like what genre its for and such.

Tags are mentioned in this dev log, which also includes generally better searching. Make sure to like it, leave a comment and I hope this is something we can implement soon!

The bigger the site grows, the more difficult it is for members to find players with similar interests. I've noticed this particularly with new members who are getting started and try to find people who they have things in common with, but the limited search feature makes it really difficult.

With 8K+ members, 20K+ characters and only a small portion being active on the forums regularly, it's something I feel that would benefit being bumped in priority!

Ah! Thank you, deary!
