Community Instrument improved search

#1 Post by Sling »

As the number of instruments available online becomes higher it will become increasingly difficult to find what you want particularly when just generally browsing to see what's there.

May I suggest some improvement to the cataloging currently used. An example is I search for EFIS and the G1000 does not appear. Perhaps the solution is a tags field in the instrument properties where developers can include multiple search terms and after submission of an instrument sim innovations can vet/alter the tags so they work well with the search tool before it go's live. This would make the search tool more useful. That way EFIS, altimeter, ASI, HSI, etc etc could be added for an instrument like the G1000 without cluttering the main description field.

We don't have meta data or keywords. We've thought about it before, but never implemented it. Maybe in a future version.
