v2 forum search wishes
Posted: 02 Dec 2021, 09:45
Some wishes for easier searching in only AHK v2 topics.
Add a "v2 only" checkbox next to the searchbox at the top of the forum pages.
Add a similar checkbox on the advanced search. Searching with the checkbox checked should show the same results as when selecting only the v2 subforums in the advanced search list.
Maybe also add a special string to all v2 subforum pages, e.g. "AHKv2", in the hope that googling with that string will show better v2 results. Because currently google results for only site:autohotkey.com "v2" something seems to also result in hits in v1 forum pages, even some that don't mention v2 at all. How much that happens varies I think but there is a general issue with google relaxing the old search syntax rule that results must contain search terms enclosed in quotes. But adding a more unique string to v2 subforum pages might help.
Longer term wish would be some smart way to re-organize the forum when v2 comes out of beta and more and more old and new users primarily use v2 rather than v1.
