Can we search the SIGNATURES of DNF Members?

[godolphin]

Hello,

I want to be able to search the Signatures of DNF Members.

Example 1: some people write in their signatures that they are looking to invest in LLL.com - I want to be able to do a quick search involving the keyword and find the DNF members who have written "Always looking for LLL.com to invest - PM me" or something similar.

Example 2: some people are content writers on DNF and they mention it in their signature, it would be very easy for us to find such content writers via DNF Signature Search feature.

This would be a good add on, IMO. If it is already there let me know where / how to do it on DNF

Logic would suggest the answer to this question would be what?

Hi

if you enter the phrase "looking to invest in LLL.com " in the search feature, the results will show quite a few members who were/ or may still be seeking names in this category.

and from that, it's logical to assume, that some of those same members may have a similar link in their signature....if they are still looking.

imo...

I'm not sure that there is a way to search just the signatures, but can keep it in mind going forward.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Here's how I'd do it...

Google indexes forum threads on DNForum as whole pages; postings, ads, signatures, and all.

Since a search on Google for "buying LLL.com domains" might turn up hundreds of thousands of results, you'll want to target your search to dnforum.com specifically.

So, when you go to Google, type in "your search here site:dnforum.com".

That way, the words "your search here" will be sought on JUST dnforum.com, and nowhere else.

I tested this theory with the phrase from my signature; "women lie, men lie, numbers don't lie", and site:dnforum.com.

The quantity of results lined right up with how many posts I have on the forum. Which is rather fitting.

Hopefully when you do this, it will allow you to pinpoint those users whose signatures indicate a search which you wish to help them out with.

I was about to say Google too. Maxwell is correct because I have also tested it first-hand with my own signature a while back.

Signatures can be images and they can be altered several times a day, so it's a moot point. The Wanted section would be a better place to look for buyers.

Which assumes that the appropriate threads do not get pushed down into the abyss.

A signature is visible on all posts, which is why it is a very useful method to make a particular string of text constantly present.

Image-based signatures are not that common.

Also, you have to consider, if one removes a "buying LLL.com" notice from their signature, perhaps that's because they're no longer buying? It does not interest me to find former buyers of what I have to sell.

If the OP does have an LLL.com to sell, however, they are in demand, so I'm thinking he should post it in public to get bids from anybody on the forum.
