Hmm? Like, I could choose from a drop down menu or better yet, check boxes that let me choose the genre of clothing (sexy, tom boy, business, etc) and then one could search. Or, what would also work well would be an autofill in the tag section to streamline more common tags. This could function in something like intellisense (is that how you spell it, that VB auto fill suggestions??). At any rate, it could be created using a algorithm based on previous posts, with a proper case function. If I was going to put in jewelry, I could type in je and Jewelry could show as a hover, which I could click on and would be inserted.

The tags are there for that role, so no genres/checkboxes needed. Someone mentioned adding auto complete for tags a while back, I forget who (if not you, probably Rebecca) and I meant to do that but I guess it slipped my mind.
Now that you reminded me it’ll get done.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t use tags, or type in crap. The auto complete would still be a very useful feature – please and thank you, Orlando!

OK, I just added in an auto complete function for tags. Right now it returns results (top 5 as you type) in alphabetical order with a counter showing how many items are tagged with that specific tag. I kind of debated whether or not to display them in results-based order so that when you type “bl” you get something like this:
1) blue (80 tagged) 2) black (60 tagged) 3) blue jeans (40 tagged) 4) black shirt (20 tagged) 5) blarg! (1 tagged)

Instead, mostly through time limitations (we’re on a deadline with some non-Rehash stuff) I just went with the simple-to-implement alphabetical. I’ll probably change it to a more results-based version in the future, but for now, come on, accept this.

Unforunately, not here. To make things simpler for everyone (users and developers) we just downcased all the strings on input. That way we don’t have to worry about case validation. As far as matching on previous posts, that’s extra work for no reason. Easiest way is running a ferret index query matching sequentially from the first string to the last. It does the job for alphabetical matching and takes like… 3 minutes to implement.

Did you ever know that you’re my heeerooo, yeah, you do… cuz I’ve said it before. I do love you though ;-)

That’s still cool, though. Thank you. =)
