I suggest you ...

Re-implement title: search

Currently this function is not operational, and it would really help searching for maps if it were working again.

    As soon as App Engine has fulltext search, I’ll implement this. Alternately, someone could write me a Pure-Python implementation. ;)

        yep... you're looking for that certain map that someone talked about on a comments page.... but of course you can't find it because you can't search for the title

        Definitely want this feature back. Not having this feature is like having a cellphone that can do everything except call people. I only ever want to search by author or by title, so the tags are kind of pointless and a waste of resources in my oppinion.

        Just a note to everyone, when southpaw types "author:text", he means "title:text".

        I have talked with Arachnid about this before, and I think he is changing title searches to be keyword searches. So that if you type 'author:bubbles' it will return all maps with "bubbles" in the title. And if you were to type 'author:"swift low high"' it would return all maps with the words "swift," "low" and "high" in the title.
        I kinda like this version a bit more and it seems better than tags.

        I think title search should be changed. It should be that the title is added as a tag to the map, because some people have expressed strong dislike in typing "title:" and "author:" and the like.
