Advanced search idea

23-12-2003, 03:19
wouldn't it be good to have an advanced search in regard to finding nations or regions. with drop down boxes and options such as (name)(contains),(starts with)(ends with)(is)(is not). (number of nations)(is more than)(is less than).(date of creation)(is)(is more than)(is less than)(is within 2 days/weeks/months of ).(creator)(is) and any more that you people can think of.

Actually, NationStates (the game, not the forum) doesn't use a database... which is why an advanced search is pretty much impossible, alas.

I try telling them that, but no one ever listens.

Ah, sorry, I forgot about that... I remember Salusa mentioning that it uses some form of file based profile...
