"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon

Its ok, I didn't misread it and realized it was for purchasing, but figured why not go a little off on a tangent (which happens alot around here) since it is still forum related.

What about searching the forum threads by username? But maybe that could be too intrusive. I ask because there are some members who's input I am very interested in and would like to read further.

A search or even a "sort" by price for classifieds would be outstanding!

As for requiring a search in the forums, I think the better solution would be for AudiogoN to come up with an FAQ section for each category. This would be much more user-friendly. Then, rather than telling people to "do a search", we can point them at the appropriate FAQ topic.

I think I had suggested awhile back they do a library. However, I don't think it'll get much mileage since there's somethings that are more opinion than fact, like the cables and tubes. It could work and would be nice (I can think of alot of good article around that could just be linked). But since there is a permanent archives, I figure the whole point of something like that existing was so that people could back reference it (even if the search function don't always turn back what you want). Not to mention, back referencing can give answers that may not come up even if one starts the new thread. As far as searching by members name's-it only scares me because I dread people looking at what I write/wrote. You could get into personality profiles and watch them go through there latest obsessions. I guess I should just laugh it off.

Ezmeralda - I think you're right. Searching by members's names could get a little creepy and I kind of dread it myself - now that you mention it.
