[FEATURE] Shorthands for search filters
Beethoven-n opened this issue · 3 comments
The +param=string
filtering option is really great, but it's a bit unfamiliar, and relatively undocumented.
A more intuitive option might be to also add specific characters for common filtering parameters. For example, to search through all items from moreblocks, you could do either @moreblocks
or the current +mods=moreblocks
. To put it in terms of functionality that already exists, it could also work so you could do either ^wood
or +groups=wood
.
To search through all items from moreblocks, you simply type moreblocks
.
Do note that search filters are incremental so you can combine them.
Example:
door +mods=fancydoors +groups=luxury,wood
you could do the same with shorthands.
example:
door @fancydoors ^luxury,wood
see how this saves characters while still clearly indicating what terms do what?
No, that’s pretty confusing to me. Imagine if there are 10+ search filters.
