1. Add a "Tag" option to pages and a "Suitcase" where i can store pages i want to consult again

   Like on Alltrails, WTA, etc. I'd like to be able to build my own bespoke repository of pages from the portal that i want to be able to easily access again and again -- whether it be references to how to use the portal, or blog entries, or trailheads, routes, etc.
   Best would be to be able to sort them into something like sub-folders, or tag them with my own memorable tags to be able to manage them when it starts bulking up.

   This idea is moving to proposed. This request is technically possible, although would be a large lift based on how our website functions today. This idea will be considered for prioritization if it gains additional following.

2. People Search

   This was spawned off from an existing thread:
   https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/37230223-integrate-fuzzy-logic-to-text-search-gh2837

   It was clear that "fuzzy search" as implemented there did not translate into a good people search experience.

   BACKGROUND

   Currently, the only way to search for members (contacts) is through the sitewide search mechanism. While we have dedicated search pages for "Find Activities", "Find Routes & Places" and "Find Courses, Clinics & Seminars", we have no such dedicated page for finding members. Your options are to either find them on some roster you have access to or to rely on the sitewide search.

   The problem is that the general sitewide search is not tuned to finding people, and when applied in this use case, it does a terrible job unless you get the member's name (first and last) EXACTLY right.

   Examples:
   "Travis Prescot" Finds ZERO hits, even though the most logical result should be "Travis Prescott"
   https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Travis+Prescot&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

   "Danielle G" returns a whole lot of "Dan"s and "Daniel"s, most of which don't have a last name starting with G, and few "Danielle"s.
   https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+G&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

   This can be improved by putting a wildcard after the G
   "Danielle G" still returns a bunch of "Dan"s and "Daniel"s but more "Danielle"s and at least most of the last names actually start with G! However, the average user of the website is NOT going to know how to use wildcards in search, so this is not a workable solution.
   https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+G&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

   And finally, an exact search for "Danielle Graham" returns me two results, both with this name, but the top search result has no information whatsoever.
   https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+Graham&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

   Bottom line, all of these non-exact search results are awful, and the exact search result could be improved.

   REQUEST

   Please add a "Find Members" search page that is tuned, optimized and tailored to finding members.

   Assume wildcards--we should never force users to put them (it's a techy trick that is not intuitive to regular users). That means if I put "Daniell" it should match "Danielle" but NOT "Dan", "Daniel" or anything else.

   In terms of the number of actual search fields, one is ideal, but only if it actually produces good results. If it doesn't then consider having multiple search fields:

   • First Name
   • Last Name
   • Email
   • Username

   Right now the general search field works for email and username ONLY if they are exact (otherwise it turns up nothing) but has serious problems generating rational results with a single search for first and last name.

   Since the search is specific to people, it should have facets relevant to finding people.

   • Checkbox for "Show expired members" (should default to off)
   • Checkbox for "Show guest members" (default to on?)
   • Multicheckbox for Branch affiliation
   • Committee Affiliation ("tag" style field where you type and it autocomplets)

   In Progress  ·  AdminDevin Lampe (Technical Experience Manager, The Mountaineers) responded

   Hello All -

   This item is being moved to in-progress and will be worked on over the next few months as part of our monthly support plan. Once complete, a user will be able to filter activities based on the days of the week. This will accommodate those who want to know weekend events or someone who has a week day that they are most commonly free. Please note, this will not take into account the time of day the activity is, only the day.

4. Additional Search Functions: Sorting SD504

   for activity listings allow user to sort by destination, leader, availability and allow sorts in ascending or descending order

   Proposed  ·  AdminDevin Lampe (Technical Experience Manager, The Mountaineers) responded

   Hello All -

   
   

   We are following up on UV Ideas and was wondering if those who submitted or voted for this idea could elaborate on the exact fields they ideally would like to sort by and the benefit they would receive from that sort option. This will help us better understand the priority and the level of development effort this idea would have. Each element we include in a filter or a sort adds additional development effort.

   
   

   Example - "I would like the option to sort by registration deadline date to understand what activities I need to consider signing up for soon."

   
   

   Thanks!
