It’s unclear to me how they are currently weighted, but can recently active, popular, and ongoing projects be made to have a higher ranking in the header search?
Some ideas for improving project search results and order include:
start / end date if applicable (especially perhaps give a much lower rank if the end date has long passed)
number of users joined/followed
recent journal posts
creation date is recent
number of observations added to project in the past x amount of time (traditional)
Agreed. I had trouble finding the main CNC project a couple of weeks ago. If you search for “City Nature Challenge 2020”, the main umbrella project is on Page 10 of the search results because all of the subprojects have that in their names too. I would expect an exact match to be at the top.
How about an option for the project curator to set the project to “inactive” or “finished” or something like this.
I also have a series of projects that are no longer active but I do not want t simply delete
could some projects be made private so they are only visible and searcha ble for the owner or admins ? Some projects are only of value to the owner and are just clutter and rubbish for anyone else and just cause distraction @tonyrebelo
