can i set "search" to display in topic instead of post?

[joyrr5092]

i found the results listed in "topics" more reasonable,
sometimes in a thread, many post contain the same search word.

repeating show up that post is inappropriate.

i browsed the user profile and seems didn't found such an option.

thanks

Try this...
1. Goto advanced search page
2. Enter search keyword
3. (near bottom) Display results as: Topics

i mean, can i set this as default?
thx

You could always add this to the end of the url in the address bar
&sr=topics

* Or make a hotkey/hotstring to do it for you...
* Or create a script that displays an input box for your keyword, then formats the url to your default preferences, and opens a browser search.

Since tank messed up the crawler bot prevention I was forced to use the forum search and needed the same thing. You can use this userscript I wrote for the search bar.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Custom search options - Autohotkey Community
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      -
// @run-at      document-end
// @description Set custom search options for the search bar
// ==/UserScript==

(() => {
    const searchForm = document.getElementById('search');
    if (!searchForm) {
      return;
    }
    const searchOptions = {
        //sf: 'titleonly',
        sr: 'topics',
    }
    for (const name in searchOptions) {
        var input = document.createElement("input");
        input.name = name;
        input.value = searchOptions[name];
        input.type = 'hidden';
        searchForm.appendChild(input);
    }
})();

I asked for this setting years ago with no avail. What a pity!

Well, browser user scripts have been invented already many years ago.
