Someone on the chat of generators page at 1:14am today asked: “How do I find roleplays here? I find the generator overwhelming but if I go to search it just takes me to google. I assumed creations would show me like a.i people have already made”

I remember a while ago Perchance saying Findability could be improved. I agree and had been thinking maybe have a community event of everyone suggest stuff for ‘generator finding’ and for a while dabbled in recording which generators passed thru the Generators page that I thought people really cared about and were following up on and making a personally curated list, which I know many others have occasionally thought similarly and tried.

But none of that is really a concrete followable step by step improvement. Tonight tho, with that comment, here is one: Make the Search feature a real feature.

Right now it DOES feel ‘underwhelming’ in that someone clicks Search at the top of the Generator’s page, and then it is ‘surprisingly disappointing’ when it does not really search through generators, but opens up a google with a specific search term. So here is a concrete suggestion as to improving findability while also pulling up something that has fallen behind in quality compared to everything around it: Upgrade Search Function on Generators Page. Make the search a real thing :)

    The max that the generator list request gives are up to 7 days only unfortunately.

    You can just add keywords to your $meta description and the search should match it.

      Dear Perchance, may we please have VioneT’s generator list phased in and can the list request please go back something like 3 months instead of 7 days?

      That is my suggestion/asky-thing thank you!
