This is probably a long-shot... since I asked the same question of BDTech and they said it would be "not easily accomplished".
But my hope is to find a way for the Like/Thanks on posts to influence search result ranking.
When you search on a forum with many posts, often hundreds of results are returned. Somewhere in those hundreds of threads are some really good posts. But most of the threads aren't very interesting. It's be really awesome to somehow rank the search results, so the good threads are shown first... much like how Google manages to show you the few good results first from thousands of mostly mediocre pages! Unlike Google, we have active communities that help identify the good stuff.
Anyone have any thoughts? Is there a way? Maybe? Or is Belazor at BDTech right?
