I hope this list is from https://searchvoat.co postable format! If so, I see you've trimmed some data (fit more within 10,000 char limit?) and sorted by username. Thinking about making those changes to searchvoat.co. eg could leave out columns searched by, shorten 4-digit year to 2-digit, leave out time etc. Would that be useful? Do you have any other suggestions I could include while I'm at it? Thanks!

Thanks for asking! Yes, I needed to trim it to fit, and at the same time came up with an idea to sort it manually. I (and maybe some others here too) would be very happy for feature updates helpful for collecting and organizing the data. What I come up with, would be:

  • Option to select the visible columns out of: Date|Author|Subverse|Title|Discussion(D)/Link(L)|Amount of comments
  • Option to select the date format (leaving out time, shortening year)
  • Option to select the dates shown (from date: until date:)
  • Option to sort by Date / Author / Subverse
  • Option to filter only Discussion submissions (or to sort by the relevant column)
  • Option to exclude subverses (not sure if that's already possible, for example using "pizzagate -pizzagatememes" in the subverse input field)

Not expecting everything above to be implemented, so I tried to sort my wishes as the most useful feature on top.

Really happy if you could add even the one on top, and even without any new columns!

About those new columns, I added two wishes in purpose to show if the submission is a Link post or a Discussion, and to show interest towards a submission via amount of comments. Not sure if these features are even possible, but worth asking anyway. Thanks for what you've already done, the search is really great!

Cool. I'll save this for later and work through it, not sure what's feasible yet, but I can say (unfortunately) that I don't have comments (yet!) so can't include that column - but yes you should already be able to do eg "pizzagate -pizzagatememes". I'll get back to you about the rest!
