A Search Wish

from WinCustomize Forums

Hello.  Wasn't sure where to post this suggestion since it's directed towards the site develpers more than anyone else.  

Has anyone considered encoding the ability to do searches based on color?  What I would like to be able to do is type 'blue' in the search box and get a listing of all items that are keyworded 'blue' (not just ones that have the word blue in the name/title).  This way I can find all WindowBlinds, IconPacks, Curtains, Cursors, etc. that are blue.  And, I wouldn't have to scroll through page after page of skins to find a skin that matches my desktop.  It would be an awesome feature to the search system.

You could possibly make that ability available specifically for subscribers as an added incentive to join Wincustomize.  Just my thought and wish.  Thanks for listening.

Hello,

All skin uploads include a " search tags " box for skinners to list

keyword tags , such as blue , and this applies to all category of skins.

So if the skinner put the tag BLUE as a tag or in the Title it should come up.

So it's a matter of skinners tagging their skins with the right words ,

You see here for my dreams I make if there's enough Blue I put

Blue in the tag and you see dreams with blue in them  https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/dream/search/blue

Some skinners may not tag properly , though .

I didn't realize that the ability was already in place.  Like you, I've been a member for close to 20 years (20 years, wow!) and just thought that the solution was on the system side because I've had to do it that way since I joined. 

Guess I'd better hold on to my pick and goggles for a bit longer and continue digging through skins to find that perfect gem to complete my desktop. 

I'm heading back in!  🥽 ⛏   Thanks!

When you go to Wincustomize in top right corner there is a search window. The allows you to pick category or all categories. Those key words apply here.
