Whats this “Search URL” field on the link post/edit form?
Higher level users can add a site search to any link they’ve posted by filling out the “Search URL” field. It is one of the most misused functions we have. If you don’t understand what it is don’t use it, you don’t gain any points for it and when done incorrectly it creates work for the Admins. Creat enough work for the admins and you will get “special attention” If you want to use it correctly here’s how: Go to the site you’ve posted and search for Linkfilter. It probably won’t find anything, but the URL field should have everything we need to add the search to Linkfilter. Make sure you see a question-mark and the word Linkfilter somewhere in the address field of your browser. Copy the URL from the browser and paste it into the “Search URL” field. Click post to save the link and you’re all set. Now go to your Linkfilter user preferences and you should find your link in the list of available searches. Check the box and hit save. The search should appear in your searches pull-down list.
