As usual I'm not delusional enough to think that I can prevent spam- of course not!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my アップデート and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of キーワード so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.
Now I know the searchbar is scary! I saw it for the first time myself when I was a new user and was reluctant to try it. Who knows what might happen when あなた click that 検索 button!?! But one 日 I summoned all my courage I tried and it didn't hurt. Now there was a surprise! Back then there was only one..now we have TWO 検索 options and I know that is even scarier. But be assured I have been using the 検索 for ages now and nothing bad has ever happened to me.
Seriously I give あなた my word: IT WON'T HURT! PROMISE!!
Searching for content on this site is a little wonky at times I admit that. But over time あなた will learn how to get better results AND and this is the w.i.e.r.d.est part (I know its spelt weird but come on..nobody likes a Ted!) あなた will also learn how to label the content あなた 提出する so that other users can find it as well.
1) The 検索 across fanpop
On 上, ページのトップへ of the page on the far right end of the black bar of doom we have the 検索 for the whole site. This is a great tool あなた can use when あなた want to find spots already available. あなた hate repeats, あなた know あなた do, so before creating a new spot あなた will use this search.
Also あなた want to find all content on ファンポップ for something/someone in this example Katherine Heigl.
There will be content in the "Katherine Heigl" spot and the "Movies" spot but since she is both on TV and in 映画 あなた will also find 画像 of her on the "Grey's Anatomy" spot and the "Television" spot. Maybe there is also content in places あなた hadn't thought of: the "Hottest Actresses" spot または the "Knocked-up" spot. So instead of going to all these spots separately and clicking yourself through all content あなた use: TADA!! The 検索 across fanpop!!
あなた type in Katherine Heigl click "search" and this will lead you- in theory- to all content 提出されました on ファンポップ concerning Katherine Heigl.*nods* I KNOW, RIGHT??
It has been neatly organized these days: あなた can filter your 検索 results によって category so if you're looking for 画像 only あなた can even choose to get sub-results organized によって image type (icons,wallpapers etc). ALL THAT with a few clicks!
あなた can also use the advanced 検索 to filter answers,links, forums, picks etc
So much for the theory of it.
What あなた won't find are 画像 投稿されました but have no キーワード and "KH <3<3" as the title. The searchbar is friendly but let's face it not very clever. It doesnt recognize Katherine on a picture..it will only give あなた results if the image is somehow marked with the words "Katherine Heigl".
That is the reason によって the way why people keep moaning aboot keywords! Not to be bossy または rude but because あなた need to add キーワード so your friend the searchbar can find things!
And あなた see in the image above that あなた get Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh results, too, when searching for Katherine Heigl..Why あなた ask? Because someone added the wrong keywords!
Also just putting "KH <3<3" in the タイトル of the picture will not result in people being able to find the image when looking for "Katherine Heigl". It just won't! Now maybe あなた say: All ファン call her KH - like we call "How I met your Mother" HIMYM- but try that, type in KH, and あなた might get some Katherine Heigl pictures along the way- but mostly a lot of "Kingdom Hearts" ( I don't even know what that is to be honest) results to click through.
Wouldn't it be MUCH easier if all 画像 with Katherine Heigl on them would pop up when あなた want them to and NO Kingdom Hearts results? Isn't that what あなた would expect? Why on earth would あなた want "Kindom Hearts" results when looking for Katherine Heigl?
( I researched: Its a game..now the woman is busy but I'm pretty sure she isn't in that.)
That is why when submitting an image または any other type of content think of your fellow fans. Think of new users who come here and want to find things they are a ファン of. Mark your content so it can be found with the help of your friend: The dense but well intentioned searchbar!
2) Searching on a spot
Now this 検索 hasn't been around as long as the other. On each spot on the 上, ページのトップへ right under the banner there is another 検索 one that is restricted to the club you're currently in. (if あなた accidentally use it to 検索 across ファンポップ あなた can alter the 検索 によって clicking on "search fanpop" the f4 are clever like that and knew we get confused easily).
It's great for finding things that are restricted to a certain spot.
So for example: あなた want to make a REALLY original pick with awesome images.
あなた think for a while and come up with "Do あなた think Katherine Heigl is hot?"
あなた have become close フレンズ with the searchbar and want to see if anyone else was clever enough to come up with such an unusual question.
Don't try to 検索 the whole question, instead use the main words of your 質問 and type that into the clubsearch so in this case Katherine hot . あなた probably find *gasp* that 4 people before あなた had the same idea and あなた rest assured that great minds think alike. Normally あなた would leave it at that but that 質問 just HAS to be asked again so あなた go to the "Hottest Actresses" club and try again. Just for the sake of the example let's pretend あなた try the 検索 there and it brings back nothing (*coushyeahrightcough*).
So あなた post this 質問 and want some awesome 画像 to go with your options. Again あなた can use the clubsearch because most 画像 of Katherine will be in the "Katherine Heigl"spot and もっと見る likely of Katherine alone rather than searching across ファンポップ where あなた will also get a lot of 画像 with her as Izzie (probably together with Alex who really has no business being on your pick.) あなた can filter your 検索 again によって category and choose アイコン since those will already have the square format あなた need.
But what if あなた want to ask a もっと見る specific 質問 aboot e.g. a dress she wore? あなた want to ask which dress looked better on her the one she wore to the "Academy Awards" in 2008 (no idea if she was invited to that but please play along) または the one she wore at the "Knocked up" premiere? あなた want your options and the 画像 to match of course since people might not remember them both. Also you're pretty sure pictures of both events were 投稿されました on the spot but あなた really don't remember when and don't want to click through endless results あなた get when looking at the 画像 section.
Wouldn't it be just insanely helpful if あなた got the results あなた needed when searching for "Academy Awards" または "Oscar" on the Katherine Heigl clubsearch? Just imagine the person who uploaded the 画像 was kind enough to put "oscars" "academy awards" "2008" "kathrine heigl" (and maybe some もっと見る that fit like "red carpet")in the keywords! あなた would find what あなた need instantly!
So remember when adding stuff to fanpop: think aboot your friend the searchbar! Be kind! Help the poor thing to do its work. It doesn't only operate on キーワード but also on titles so pay attention to both (for spots/clubs it also works with the submotto for some reason I can't quite grasp :S...just type in "love" and あなた will see what I mean.).
Don't PLEASE just don't tag stuff thats NOT in the image/video. If you're uploading "Izzie" アイコン to the Grey's Anatomy spot don't tag other characters.
Don't use all キーワード available just to put some. Also and this might to news to some: あなた can type your own keywords! So あなた can actually type in "oscar" "academy awards" etc yourself separating them によって commas! Bulk uploading kills キーワード as Snerkie once 発言しました but I won't stop あなた from doing that anyway but please at least don't tag things that AREN'T in the picture. That is just frustrating to everyone else.
As for titles: its never a good idea to put "OTH <3<3" または "LYK OMG SO HAWT" または any other abbreviations または textspeak. Try to make the titles simple and "searchable" (why THAT'S not a word in the English language is beyond me..but あなた know what I mean). The "KH" example または putting "GG" which can be Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls または even GOLDEN GIRLS for that matter shows あなた how it might confuse things for people.
I think its fine to post "updated" repeats but be sure to mark them as such. So instead of asking "Is Katherine Heigl hot?" あなた could ask "After Katherine Heigl dyed her hair, got plastic surgery and is now a dude: Is she still hot? and it wouldn't really be a repeat.
So 次 time あなた want to add something to ファンポップ please do two things use a touch of common sense and PLEASE use your friend: The Searchbar!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my アップデート and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of キーワード so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.

Image results for Katherine Heigl
あなた can also use the advanced 検索 to filter answers,links, forums, picks etc
Question that has been asked and answered sufficiently now!
So much for the theory of it.
