NightWind's Card Searcher

Nolder: about your request of tri-colour cards
Nolder, I'm now looking at changing the form design to cater for masa and your requests. I need to know in detail what your request involves - please refer to my post above.

I'm running out of space on the search form. In hindsight, it would be wasted effort if I had to redesign the form for masa's request and then realize I'll have to redesign it all again for your request. I could cater the design for masa's request fine, but I need to know more about yours. This is especially the case where both requests were made at about the same time.

Nolder's request about word matching

actually i just happened to think of something but i'm not sure if it's possible

you know how if you misspell something into google it makes a suggestion?
would it be possible to implement something like that?

like say i type "Keler Tower"
it would say "Did you mean Kelar Tower?!?!" or something >_>
but yeah...just an idea

This would be incredibly time consuming to code. It would require a complete change to the current process flow. For now, I can't say if I have the time to implement this, as once I start on it, I would not be able to focus on other requests. I do find your suggestion useful, but it's hard in a way.

True that. I'll probably need more NightWinds.

Hmmm... It might work, but it needs to be done tastefully, less like someone stupid making a guess while you're saying something specific.

Tastefully... hmm... in my current and future state, I can only manage a somewhat crummy job of matching the number of letters and all. Even if implemented, it would be nothing compared to Google - simply because if it was, I would be able to afford all the web servers I want. And buy cosplay items from the Internet.

So all in all, time consumingly possible, but resulting effort would be able to cater for small spellling mistakes but not of Google quality.

I'm not making any guarantees on if this check-and-suggest request will be implemented, but I wil keep it in mind. Because this requires so much effort, I will be prioritising this against any other requests which are around. Though even if there are no requests, this will take time to implement because it could impact how all the other parts work.

So yeah, no guarantees, but will keep in mind.
