Searching Conversation Posts

February 28, 2008, 05:37 AM posted in General DiscussionTo my knowledge, searching at CPod only works for lessons, but not for conversation posts. If this is due to a lack of tagging, then why not enable tagging for users AND expand this user tagging to lessons, too. That's one part of Web 2.0 as fas as I understand.
Any other suggestions?

February 28, 2008, 09:55 PMAnother suggestion - it would make lesson search easier if the results, in addition to: Level - Lesson Title Topic: Function: Grammar: Popularity: | Ranking: ...also included the filename/numbering system. For instance: Newbie - Friends for Dinner ID: A0044 Topic: food Function: expressing_opinions Grammar: Popularity: 645 | Ranking: 0.00 And if we could do a search via the ID #, that would be helpful, as well.

Try following AuntySue's suggestion... not quite as convenient as having an improved search tool ingrained on the site, but it does the trick.
