Topic: [Feature] Searching pools by tags

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Searching for comics would be so much easier if you could search pools by the tags of the all the images in a given pool

Or alternatively, an optional feature for regular search that condenses multiple images from the same pool into one result. This would also help with the occasional issue of comics uploaded all at once taking up half the search results page.

Type pool: then the pool and tag(s) you're looking for

I'm pretty sure that the OP does not want to search for images within a specific pool. They want to find new pools based on the tags of the posts within.
The actual way to do this would be something like inpool:true male horse. Not quite what they are asking for, but close.

We need poolindex first:

Should be much easier to implement, and you could use it to get only one image from each pool, such as the cover page. Not as good as searching all tags across the entire pool, but it could be used to narrow things down.

While that would be a useful feature on its own, it's not too helpful here. Cover pages are not always representative of the content in the rest of the pool.

As long as something simple like poolindex isn't implemented, there is probably no hope for this feature request.

I kinda also literally just said something like this somewhere else.
i said pools should be searchable, and pools inherit all (or the common) the tags from all their members
