Help[Facts] Re: the Name Browser
in reply to a message by Mike C
I'm amazed you can keep finding things to add to the search. I'm frequently telling people (sometimes here, sometimes on reddit) about how powerful and useful the search is.
A small suggestion I got from a conversation on reddit: Put a link to this search on the front page. I can tell people all day long about how awesome it is, but that means nothing if they can't find it or it's too hard to get to.

Do you mean the rhyming search? It's kind of esoteric for the front page I think...
Or do you mean the advanced search itself? You can access that from the "names" menu on any page.

I mean the advanced search itself. I know how to get to it, but I've gotten the impression that a lot of other people don't and they miss out on how good the search really is.
The thread I was in on reddit was complaining about Nameberry's snide little opinions on their entries; the commenter I talked to said it was unfortunate that their entries were so biased because she liked their search feature. I came in to praise BTN's amazing search and showed her some examples. Her reply:
Obviously do whatever you think is best, but I've been meaning to mention it and a thread about a search update seemed appropriate.

Hmm, point taken. Maybe a link on the front page near the search bar would be in order (in addition to the menu link). That gear icon could be the link instead of changing what you search for... Does anyone still use that gear to set their search?

I hope you get some answers. Personally I've never used it, but I'm almost never on the homepage either.
