#11 Enhanced Seach Capabilities

[Sal]

Hello, let me say that Foing was exactly what I was
looking for for my site. Although my site is small
right now, I can see some better searching options are
needed in the future. You may notice this on the main
foing site already. Here are my suggestions...

--a dropdown menu to limit the browse list by submitter

--a dropdown menu to limit the browse list by date
submitted, such as "last day", "last week", "last
month", etc.

--a different system that can be impletmented for the
artist and submitter (see above) dropdown lists,
because when the lists gets really long (say a 1000
artists or so) they may be quite daunting. Maybe add
another dropdown list that will limit the original
dropdown list to songs beginning with a letter of the
alphabet (along with an "all" option). So a first list
that contains A-Z and "all" which will limit the second
list depending on what was chosen.

and/or

a type-in option for the artist and submitter dropdown
lists that will limit the list by what you type in. So
if you type in a partial word, the dropdown list will
display all artists/submitters that begin with that
partial word. For example, typing in "white" would
bring up "white stripes" and "white snake" (*shivers).
You could type in a single letter and it would limit
the list to all songs beginning with that letter (like
the above suggestion).

--a way to show songs added since last visit.

--Also, a separate "in-house" search engine for songs
on foing, where you can seach by song name, artist,
album, date submitted, submitter, genre, etc. (also
maybe with size, quality, and length limits, such as:
at least "1mb" , but less than "12 mb")

Hope this helps,
Sal
