Reminder: we talked before about setting up the search engine so that it would disregard the use or misuse of capital letters, but it doesn't look like you have implemented this feature. Am wondering of you would consider it. Wikipedia doesn't require the use of the capital letters, and everyone is going to be used to searching for things here the way they do on Wikipedia. I tried to get a friend to look up the article on the [[Count of Dendtler]] over the phone two days ago, but it turned out she wasn't typing using a capital D (" | Reminder: we talked before about setting up the search engine so that it would disregard the use or misuse of capital letters, but it doesn't look like you have implemented this feature.

I tried to get a friend to look up the article on the [[Count of Dendtler]] over the phone two days ago, but it turned out she wasn't typing using a capital D ("Count of dendtler", some of my friends are more difficult than others) and so had a very hard time getting to the article, and this is just one instance with which I happen to be familiar. I am sure there are countless others! So do consider it, yes? Thanks! [[User:Baron of Bastanchury|Baron of Bastanchury]] ([[User talk:Baron of Bastanchury|talk]]) 01:16, 4 May 2020 (UTC) | ||
:I've noticed that issue, as well. It hasn't bugged me too much, since the article you intended should pop up as the first search result. That said, it is a change that is probably worth making--[[User:DukeBearPeninsula|DukeBearPeninsula]] ([[User talk:DukeBearPeninsula|talk]]) 18:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC) | :I've noticed that issue, as well.

:I can't speak to the rest of your inquiry, but all heraldic components that have specifically been outlined are contained within the [[Heraldry in Westarctica#Unique Elements of Westarctican Heraldry|article covering heraldry]].--[[User:DukeBearPeninsula|DukeBearPeninsula]] ([[User talk:DukeBearPeninsula|talk]]) 22:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC) | :I can't speak to the rest of your inquiry, but all heraldic components that have specifically been outlined are contained within the [[Heraldry in Westarctica#Unique Elements of Westarctican Heraldry|article covering heraldry]].--[[User:DukeBearPeninsula|DukeBearPeninsula]] ([[User talk:DukeBearPeninsula|talk]]) 22:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC) | ||
:No, there is no directory of devices, although we have a database showing existing arms on the website. As for the capital letters issue, it's been on my to-do list for quite a while, along with the mobile plugin (so the page displays better on mobile devices) and the coding to allow for creation of Portals (would be great to have Calsahara-specific and Antarctica-specific portals someday). These require someone with more technological ability than I personally possess, and that person also need root access to the wiki itself (which makes me paranoid). I don't know if there is a search prefix or not (I was oblivious to their existence until now) and I'm not sure our user base is robust enough to warrant the time and energy spent attempting to include such a feature.--[[User:Westarctica]] 14 January 2021 | |||
