5/17 New Room Search Option
« on: May 17, 2010, 09:17 AM »


This is a neat feature!  Room Search Option.  Search Box shows up when looking at the Popular Rooms Tab.  Type in a search in the box.  Below I started typing "trades", but a list of rooms started to appear, after the first few letters:

Thanks Astro!  Interesting feature, but not sure how useful it will be.  When I look at the pop list, there's usually not enough rooms to warrant a search.  In the pic you posted, you typed 'tra' and one of the rooms is called "VFK High School Lockers".  Not sure if that's a trade room.  I guess the question is whether it's searching only room titles, or titles and room descriptions?  If they had this feature for 'My Rooms' also, that would be a slam/dunk!  Regardless, another feature is always a pleasant surprise ;)

It also brings up rooms that are in single-user mode.  So, not sure where it's pulling query information from.

LOL Woah!  That is odd.  Probably a few bugs to be worked out.  New feature and all.  :)

Actually I was just hoping for this feature this weekend.  I wanted to get out and visit some of the garden rooms, but needed a search feature.  Let's hope this works well. :)

Thanks Astro!
Princess found this the other day by accident-she was so excited about it. We used that search feature alot in VMK.
Hope it works as well as it did there but I haven't tested it out yet.  :2thunbs:
