Features and Suggestions For SermonIndex.net

Saints,

If you have any suggestions, features you would like on sermonindex.net please post it here. They will all be considered and really sermonindex.net is here to serve you.

It has been also a great help in the past when brothers and sisters suggested ways things could be done better. Obviously some changes technically could be harder then it seems and not feasible. But it doesn't hurt to suggest anything.

One thought I had was to interview speakers and feature the interview in audio on the website and also in text transcribed and "in" the old paths magazine. This is something I wanted to see happen years ago and perhaps its time to see this happen.

I agree about the search thingy. The SI google search is pretty good, but there is no link from SI's front page to go there. If it's recently be installed, disregard this post.

any other thoughts and ideas other then the obvious need for a good search feature?

I would like it to be easier to find a named sermon by a named speaker.

The suggestion I make for this, would be to have the letters of the alphabet under the numbers at the foot of the screen page.

I realise this is an inexact science for the most part, but, if say (at least one and) up to a total of four alphabet letters were programmed to stay linked to the page on which they begin, I could find myself very forgiving over the guesswork required for the rest of the alphabetically indexed sermons!

The four letters I suggest are A, E, M and S, (which are roughly quarters of a dictionary).

Alternatively, instead of page numbers, there could be alphabet letters, and if there was more than one page for that letter, simply have the same letter again, until the next letter begins.

Great suggestions keep them coming saints. You can also suggest things towards other ideas for sermonindex other then just the sermon downloads.

ie video sermons, photos, discussion boards, old paths magazine. etc

but I would like to see the number of pages under Zac Poonen go to a second row! It is getting to 50 and more pages and the white portion of the web page is enlarging itself sideways!

When I first came to SI, I missed having a forum list on every page (including a Search funtion), in a drop down menu, by which to move to my next point of interest, rather than having to come out through the general link at the top of the page to move to another forum. I'm not sure if such a drop-down menu would be wasteful of memory, but it would definitely save time.

An alphabetical, searchable index of all thread titles might be useful, esp if they could be separated out into the forum where they were posted, or, one could search for a poster who took part in that thread, so as to limit the number of threads to search within.

Really, I would like an properly accurate keyword search which could search either the written material you have provided, or, search the threads.

It would be a treat to be able to search for a quote someone has added to thread (by a classic author), separately from the articles you have stored by them.

Thank you.
