Options

Hi,
I am trying to decide on the best sollution for searching on my website.

The search will be used to find poker events (not just tournaments) in Ireland.

Events will fall into the following categories:
Casino+Club/Online/College Societies and also a category that will have events held by a groups of friends, a community hall, a pub etc.

Option A is to have the search options as:
all/tournaments/tournaments(casino+club)/tournaments(online)/tournaments(college societies)

This poses the problem that someone will search for tournaments thinking they are getting all tournaments in casino etc. And may think All is for all events including tournaments. All will infact be to just to search in all categories listed above after "all" option. This also poses the problem of an event not being a tournament, thus making search options void.

Option B is to have search options as:
all/regular/casino+club/online/college societies

This poses a problem that regular is too obscure. Another word to consider instead of regular is "Misc".

Remember, not all events will be tournaments.

Any feedback appreciated.

Regards.

your post reads like it was written in english, translated to gaelic, and then translated back to english.

Do it which ever way is easier for you. They'll figure it out. If they don't, well, blind luck must have allowed them to stumble onto your site.

and besides, anyone who has used a web forum for more than a week knows that no one uses the search function anyway /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sorry, I should have pointed out that this is not for a forum. It is for an event calendar and not a forum. Users will be searching for events, not posts:)

Is English your native language? If so, every English teacher you've ever had should be killed outright.
