Prioritize site search criteria
« on: July 27, 2008, 02:26:25 pm »

I am tired of inputing some calues for the site finder, and search only to find a "partial candidate" that has everything but a magma tube. To whit, I suggest the ability to set values for each, perhaps 1-5, with 1 being "nice to have" and 5 being "don't show me anything that doesn't have this. Magma is probably the most important thing to me, so it's pretty frustrating to have to remove other wanted features to find one with it.

I support this, althrough with a twist: IŽd rather be able to prioritize the values in order from most important to least important. AKA: First I want it to have a magma pipe, then a river, then a chasm...

Also, IŽd like the search engine to stop at the first l00% match of the characteristics instead of keeping on searching. And being able to tell it to continue searching if that match isnŽt satisfying.

While we're in wishing mode, store all matches in a list and allow us to move back and forth in that list.
