Ok having a bit of a challenge. Im new to the programming side and have created an addon and uploaded it to curse.com. Syndication has happened but what i need to figure out is how to add a search "tag" to it so that users can search for it on curse.com. Any ideas?
I browse to http://curse.com then click the AddOns link and type in "fubar_volumefu" (for example) in the search box. The dropdown box indicates there are 7 results but, when I hit return I get nothing. Some mods seem to get found, others do not. Is this a bug?
VolumeFu even comes up in the auto-complete (which is TOTALLY annoying, btw, and often makes me end up searching for something completely different than what I want)
Yes, search is very finicky on Curse. I'm especially annoyed by the auto-complete. If I hit the backspace button to get rid of what it "thought" I was looking for, 25% of the time it ends up appending it again as soon as I hit enter.
The end of day 3, and I still can't type "easymail" or "durabilitystatus" into the curse add-on search and have my add-ons show up in the results list.
I've not had a problem with Curse search finding things; if the addon is there in the first place, it's usually found it.
The autocomplete screws me up every single time, though. Be *very* careful when you type, when you click, and what's highlighted at the time you press Enter.
I'm facing the same problem here. I can found my addon (Spotter) on curseforge, I can follow the link in my project to the right curse.com site, but the search on curse.com don't show it in the results.
The autocomplete screws me up every single time, though. Be *very* careful when you type, when you click, and what's highlighted at the time you press Enter.
Terrible design. As a developer, you NEVER change an input field as the user is typing, except in limited situations, and a search field is NOT one of those situations. If the user has a set number of options that he HAS to choose from, fine. But NOT when a person might want to do a search on a partial word.
Oh, and I STILL cannot find my add-ons by searching, although they finally now show in the category lists.
Yeah the auto complete is really annoying. I've also noticed that you have to search for a substring of the addon name that you're looking for in order to find it.

Curse PremiumI put my add-on up on Saturday morning, but I STILL cannot find it by searching?
Here is the page for my add-on: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/easymail.aspx
Why can't I find it by searching using the word "easymail"? How do i set search tags!?
