Sorting or Tagging for Add-on Releases Page


Recommended Posts

At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a way to sort the released Add-ons, and with 84 pages, and about ~14 pages of 1.05 stuff, it can be really frustrating to find what you are looking for. For instance, I wanted to add more planets, and although the Kopernicus mod is only on the second page, it has no indication of what it does without clicking on it, and clicking on every page to see what the mod does is not how I want to spend my time. The "Search" bar also fails to turn up what you are looking for about 90% of the time unless you know the exact term to search.

The tag system is a start, but it needs to do what StackExchange does with tags, instead of typing what you want, "weapon", "weapons", "weaponry" are all different tags, that should all be the same. There should be a drop down for adding a tag "Weapons" "Engines" "Planets" "Flight Mechanics" "Overhaul" "Gauges" "Visuals" etc. and finally custom.

There is also now way (that I know of) to sort the page by tags, and to only show the posts with certain tags. You can click on them, but it also includes search results where the tag name was in a paragraph. For instance, this post will show up if you click on a tag that says plugin, just because I used the word just then!
 

TLDR; (suggestions for Released Add-ons page)

Force at least one tag choice, because tons of posts have no tag, and the name is not descriptive

Select, or recommended tags just like StackExchange

Searching posts via tags

 

It would improve every mods user base if people could more easily find what they were looking for.
