Building a Basic Search: Keyword Matching & Location Filters
Understanding how a good finder helps save your valuable time is important.
A great finder, to me, starts with ease. You type in your request – and it immediately matches the name (I'd hope this should be good enough)
I mean, we all know about locations. If you are in the specific locations or not – filter it out right then. That helps you a lot with items you specifically need or need for a specific spot!
- Keywords: What type of part is it?
- Location Filters: Are you near a location or place where parts will be stocked in the first place? You could save hours of finding, not finding stuff just because your searching in the wrong spot! Filtering by location cuts out wasted search time. Finding where exactly these parts/items might be available makes so much sense to cut your time! (Super useful)
Implementing a Robust Item Type Categorization System
Understanding your items will help with quick search filters
Classifying similar products as well helps
Grouping items:
- Component groups (Weapons, power packs).
- Quality levels or Grades (from lower grades to the superior higher grade stuff)
Integrating with Player Databases:
Some finder could have built in options for integrating databases with lots of different item data to allow the user more accurate and more filtered search of a specific item or item type. Finding those particular details could give one more insight.
Dealing with Inaccurate Information & Addressing Issues:
Checking your source.
Checking your details with the vendor/source.
