[Feedback / Feature Request] Limit search on specific game section

Post by Old Drullo321 »

I visit the wiki to only search for info on a specific game, in this case X4. Therefore if i use the search bar available on the X4 main page (see screenshot) it only shows results for X4. However, the search bar is only available on this page and if you are on any other page, only the top right general search box is available, which to my knowledge always shows result from the complete wiki, which isn't helpful at all.

The only way to circumvent this issue is to always have a tab open with the X4 main page and use that search box. That is a bit cumbersome. I would like to see improvements to the general search to only search in the specific game area you are currently in (or any other option to improve this behaviour).

If I have overlooked a feature, please inform me how to have a better user experience.

Hi Drullo, I did have a look into this and I don't know if that is possible unfortunately (though I find XWiki documentation can be a bit tricky to find so I might have missed it). Would more relevant links between pages be useful for navigation do you think or do you have other ideas for how things could be more accessible?

Perhaps definite & explicit keywords (or phrases) may be helpful here. Eg mandatory prefixing a topic with [X3:<whichever>], X:R, X:VR, X4 etc would help to at least define the search terms sensibly; further drill-down keywords could maybe be restricted to only the search defined by the first prefix?

I know I'd certainly find that useful when searching for X3 stuff as there are 3 different versions plus the DLC, which each may have their own stats for certain items (despite them mostly being the same)

Never played AP; all X3 advice is based on vanilla+bonus pack TC or before: AP has not changed much WRT general advice.
