And yet, so often they are the muscle and bones of a region, contain volumes of this game's history and culture. Using a player-generated solution would take nearly three weeks of api calls and be completely blind to any updates made to those dispatches, so an admin-generated solution seems the only feasible option.

As United Calanworie previously said, just use site:nationstates.net inurl:dispatch (put what you're searching for here) and you should be fine.

You might stand to read my post directly above yours, as this thread is very clearly and evidently a part of the gameside communications technical development discussions.

The point is, there's no need for a dispatch search bar with this hidden trick. It first searches for the dispatch titles and then the text contents. Just know it and we'll be fine.

I expect that I'd want a search function both on a nation's main page (defaults to searching that nation's dispatches) or on an any dispatch/factbook. The first is because I'm likely to look for a search function if I'm pretty sure that nation had a dispatch on a topic/mentioned a topic, but I can't find it ("I'm sure Maxtopia talked about fully-automatic ice cream dispensers in one of these dispatches!") and the second is because I think somebody wrote about it, but I'm not sure who.

I hadn't thought about this, but this makes a lot of sense. The search box on a nation's page would *probably* best be put into their specific nation's dispatch collection (e.g. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispa ... calanworie) though to minimize clutter on the main nation page.

Also maybe a mode where you can search for BBCode e.g. looking at Meta : Reference for the [img] code. Also might be helpful for dispatches that use the [data:census-score-number] tags

Page=dispatches seems most intuitive to me but agreed with Ioudaia that the additional option to search only a player's dispatches on their nation page would be handy. A page=search is ideal imo because then you can bookmark or share topics you were looking for as needed.

I think this would be neat and would be nicely analogous to the existing region search. That is, a little search box on page=dispatches like the one on page=world, and a more extensive page=search like the existing page=list_entities (though probably with more options for advanced searches).
The Voice of ARB wrote:I'm thrilled by the thought of being able to easily find dispatches without someone giving me the URL. But I would like to suggest an additional wrinkle. Provide an option to search the dispatches for nations in the Boneyard. Most often, when I'm looking for a dispatch, it's one I wrote under the name of a deceased puppet quite a long time ago. If I can remember which puppet, I can, of course, restore it, or just go to the Boneyard myself. If I can't recall which one (I had so many), it would be really good to be able to rummage through the refuse of the deceased to find the treasure that was buried with them.
