[BUG?] Nation Search Seems Off
Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:37 am
The nation search feature on the 'World' page seems like it could be a lot more useful. I often use this to look at my nations without having to go through the hassle of logging out and in and messing up my forum sessions. For a lot of my puppets it works great, because their name is unique. For nations like this one however - it is basically useless. When you search for my nation's exact name, my nation shows up on page 6 of 7 pages of results.
The part that seems the most broken, that regularly freaks me out and makes me think I've been modDEATed can be seen here:
Searching for "Weed" and then going to the second page of results will get you a message that there is no such nation, and maybe it ceased to exist. Do not be alarmed - the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Here is a full screenshot - I'm using IE just for demonstration purposes, I do not normally. I don't have NS++ on IE, so it isn't related to that: http://i968.photobucket.com/albums/ae16 ... z4xhcp.png
(Though NS++ does mess it up even further, if you try to go to the second page of results with NS++ it forgets you searched for Weed at all and just shows you all the nations of the world. - I know, you don't care about that.)

May I humbly request that we:
- Get rid of that error message that scares me from time to time.
- Look for a better way to display results than alphabetical. When I search for "Weed" there's a good chance that "Weed" is what I wanted, it should be higher than page 6. Even if we don't re-order the links, putting a link to the nation that exactly matched your results (if it exists) on top where the error message appears would be useful if it also appeared on the first page of results.
