Question Anyway to make it easier for readers to search for important info's?

Is there any way we can store some of the important discussions into a page where people can go in and look up for certain information? I mean, the search already works really good, but I think an index or some sort will be a lot more helpful because some of the discussion have been repeated over and over.

Repeating of discussion is the one thing that makes the usage of searching less effective¡K There are going to be so many search result that people will have to read pages after pages of messages to find something useful.

What I am suggesting is that we build an index for important discussion, such as ¡§Drive train discussion¡¨, or ¡§things you want to know about the drill motors¡¨, or ¡§insights into this year¡¦s game¡¨, or ¡§different ways of attaching gears onto a shaft¡¨. There are just some of the examples of different topics really worth saving.

No need to look through pages after pages of messages¡K All people have to do is to go into the index page, and click the link and go directly to the messages with the most information.

How to judge if a thread is useful? I have no idea how to do that¡K Maybe all the threads should be rated by the readers¡K Maybe we should just let the posters add their thread into the index¡K But whatever method this forum end up using, I am sure it¡¦s going to help people a lot when they are looking for useful information for immediate usage¡K.
