Hello. |

IMO the very important element of gentoo user relations that is absent |
| 4 |
at w.g.o is search field! Gentoo does not have good searching point. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Each time I encounter bug/problem before asking for help if I'm a good |
| 7 |
boy I have to search for solution in different places: forums, mailing |
| 8 |
lists, bugzilla. If I heard that gentoo has some feature and I'd like to |
| 9 |
find some relevant information, I have to search forums, mailing lists, |
| 10 |
wiki, google. That is really uncomfortable. I have to open many |
| 11 |
different search pages in my browser and cut and paste my search pattern |
| 12 |
there, wait many times for results... And now pretend first day user..! |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This omission really disturbs. So just some notes, on what IMO shall be |
| 15 |
done. Search should spread among all gentoo projects, subprojects, ml, |
| 16 |
blogs and etc. Search should be customized (fex, I'd like to search only |
| 17 |
-user mailing list, Assistance forums, and bugs.g.o). It's good idea to |
| 18 |
save searches (like save searches in bugzilla). BTW. There were already |
| 19 |
suggestions with working implementations: |
