Hi all.
I'm new to Lush Stories, so I am still trying to figure out some stuff.
I have tried to us the search feature and am just not getting the results I want, and to much of what I'm not really interested in. I was wondering, is there a way to search stories by using the tags to get an accurate search for what I am interested in? I know I can click on a tag and get a listing of all stories that use that particular tag, but is their a was to do that, and add additional tags to the search to narrow the list down? I have used this type of search to great effect elsewhere, and was wondering if Lush had something similar and I am just looking int he wrong place on the site.
Thanks for any help.

Hi DLS,
Our tag search, and keyword search, are scheduled for an overhaul. It's on our coder's every lengthening to-do list.
If you enter something obscure, like "67goat" (long story!) in the search box, it pulls up 17 returns (http://www.lushstories.com/search-results.aspx?query=67goat).
Adding "smoking" too, to narrow the results further, you'd expect less returns, however there are (http://www.lushstories.com/search-results.aspx?query=67goat+smoking) 464 returns.
I've requested these features:
- Ability to search within categories you are interested in (via checkboxes - all checked by default). COMPLETED (click on advanced search)
- Feature that allows search results to return multiple words ("ginger" and "Sprite"), not all those stories that contain either word. Would probably work with the delimiter +.
- Allow words to be excluded ("Leather Fetish" -latex) - along the lines of google search.
- Search by as many keywords / tags as you wish, with the most relevant returns at the top.
If you can think of further improvements, we'd love to know.
Thank you for the feedback.

Hi Nicola,
The checkboxes search sound sort of like what I was thinking of.
On the other site I go to that they use tags it is sort of like that. You can click on a tag and it will pull up a general selection of stories that use that tag, with a list to the side that contains a break down of other tags used in association with the first tag you chose. By click on a tag in that side list you can narrow you search further and further untill you got a list of items that only have the exact tags you are interested in.

You can currently search within a category, clicking on the "Advanced Search" link: http://www.lushstories.com/search-results.aspx
But I'd like the overall search experience improved, and it's been scheduled in.
