Search on steemit.com

Proposal

  1. Automatic new results update. Static search on steemit is not good enough for our cool blockchain social network, I'm proposing search key words serve as a filter on blockchain stream. A twitter style search, that new results will show up automatically if auto is checked.
  2. Save search keywords and name them, so they could become a customized channel.
  3. More sorting options. Besides relevance and date, more options such as sort by author reputation, author follower count, author SP, current post reward, current post vote, current total watch, etc..
  4. More conditions in search, such as specifying tags, specifying reputation, SP, follower ranges, etc.
  5. Remove google ads, or move it to left side.

Mockups / Examples

  1. Filter the stream.

  2. If logged in, a user will be able to save a search and name it. For example, save a search for FOMC with keyword: FOMC AND (Powell OR ("wall street journal" or "zerohedge"))

  3. Put more options here:

  4. For example: yoga book tag:((life OR photo)) NOT crypocurrency) author_reputation:25,100 date:2018/1/1,today

  5. Remove the circled area or move it to the left / right side.

Benefits

  1. More accurate search.
  2. Use (saved) search as channels.
  3. Give older posts a second life.
  4. Attract more users. Especially with the saved search, steemit will give readers a very powerful tool to stream the blockchain and more reasons to stick with steemit.
