Search the Community

As a newbie who doesn’t know his way around in the forum, I started posting in some sub-forum few days ago thinking that I’m posting in the right place. I got one reply from a supportive senior member. I also got a polite directive note from the moderator telling me that there was a better place for my topic.What I would like to suggest is adding one more search option to the search menu that helps members to locate the best place(s) for their new topic. The easiest would be a search by category.A more advanced and challenging search module in terms of coding would be a command button that evaluates the text of the post and suggests the most appropriate forum according to the word frequencies in the post. I don’t know how that could be achieved or even if it’s doable. It’s just a thought.To test that idea I ran a word frequency count on the first two paragraphs of the post that you’re reading now and the result was as follow:search (4 occurrences)forum (3 occurrences)topic (2 occurrences)posting (2 occurrences)post (2 occurrences)If we ignore other frequencies of other general non-key words I think that might tell us the first two paragraphs have to do with searching the forum topics.
