Make post embeds (Links/Vids/Twitter/Youtube...) searchable
0 replies, posted
Let's say I wanted to post a video, like for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't posted before. (No one wants the evil scorn of lateness and receive a shipload of ⏰⏰⏰ in his face)
On ~Ye Olde Punch~ I could just throw dQw4w9WgXcQ into the search bar and find any earlier mention of this video.
This sadly does not work anymore.
Some examples:
Searching for ford-cars-north-america does not find the URL http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/25/autos/ford-cars-north-america/index.html which was posted here RIP the Ford Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, and Taurus
Searching for MuHHPVu5JaM does not find the Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuHHPVu5JaM
which was posted here Dark Souls Remastered in a nutshell
Searching for zGtW5C0 does not find the image https://i.imgur.com/zGtW5C0.jpg
which was posted here direct Imgur images with get parameters (edited posts) turn into..
Searching for 1010205853985792000 does not find the Twitter post https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1010205853985792000
which was posted here White House plans on restructuring the Federal Government
The link is already stored in the post obviously as:
"insert": {
"hotlink": {
"url": "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"force": "undefined",
"settings": "undefined"
}
}
so searching through these like searching through bbCode tags [vid]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ[/vid] on Oldpunch should not be entirely impossible (I think...)
I think that including these results wouldvastly improve the quality of the search feature of Facepunch.
