Search Function in Wincustomize
Thursday, December 21, 2006 by GigaByte69 | Discussion: Stardock Software
Hi
I have been trying to do searches for window blinds themes, however , the search is not giving me what i want. For instance, you should be able to punch in something like "train" and get themes related to or containing trains in them, not 100's of themes created by someone with "train" in there alias or skinner name and nothing at all about trains in general. This is just an example, you can try anything. Is there no way to search just the descriptions, or by adding keywords to the descriptions we can search for? Most modern search engines have the ability to do multiple filters to narrow down your search criteria. This function is the same in both the Stardock Central application and the "Paid $ For" Wincustomize Browser. I would really like to see this feature improved upon, as it is very frustrating right now.
Thanks

That wasn't his answer, that was his attempt to being the topic back up so other people would notice it and hopefully be able to give a more definitive answer.

I posted a similar post about 2 years ago now concerning the lousy search system. Got nothing but grief in response. Eventually discovered deviantart and ended up subscribing there. Came back today because I just upgraded to Vista and thought I'd check wincustomize out again. Can't believe after two years the same problems I posted about still exist even though the site got an upgrade. 
Anyhow, am looking for a fix to the problem described here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=167197&p=1#1626859 and seems there is none. Really great wincustomize. I don't understand why people keep coming here when there are really great alternatives with a far better system. I guess its hard to not check out the site of the makers of the product you use it with. Even I came back believing things might have changed.
