As usual I'm not delusional enough to think that I can prevent spam- of course not!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my Updates and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of Schlagwörter so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.
Now I know the searchbar is scary! I saw it for the first time myself when I was a new user and was reluctant to try it. Who knows what might happen when Du click that Suchen button!?! But one Tag I summoned all my courage I tried and it didn't hurt. Now there was a surprise! Back then there was only one..now we have TWO Suchen options and I know that is even scarier. But be assured I have been using the Suchen for ages now and nothing bad has ever happened to me.
Seriously I give Du my word: IT WON'T HURT! PROMISE!!
Searching for content on this site is a little wonky at times I admit that. But over time Du will learn how to get better results AND and this is the w.i.e.r.d.est part (I know its spelt weird but come on..nobody likes a Ted!) Du will also learn how to label the content Du Abschicken so that other users can find it as well.
1) The Suchen across fanpop
On oben, nach oben of the page on the far right end of the black bar of doom we have the Suchen for the whole site. This is a great tool Du can use when Du want to find spots already available. Du hate repeats, Du know Du do, so before creating a new spot Du will use this search.
Also Du want to find all content on Fanpop for something/someone in this example Katherine Heigl.
There will be content in the "Katherine Heigl" spot and the "Movies" spot but since she is both on TV and in Filme Du will also find Bilder of her on the "Grey's Anatomy" spot and the "Television" spot. Maybe there is also content in places Du hadn't thought of: the "Hottest Actresses" spot oder the "Knocked-up" spot. So instead of going to all these spots separately and clicking yourself through all content Du use: TADA!! The Suchen across fanpop!!
Du type in Katherine Heigl click "search" and this will lead you- in theory- to all content Abgeschickt on Fanpop concerning Katherine Heigl.*nods* I KNOW, RIGHT??
It has been neatly organized these days: Du can filter your Suchen results Von category so if you're looking for Bilder only Du can even choose to get sub-results organized Von image type (icons,wallpapers etc). ALL THAT with a few clicks!
Du can also use the advanced Suchen to filter answers,links, forums, picks etc
So much for the theory of it.
What Du won't find are Bilder gepostet but have no Schlagwörter and "KH <3<3" as the title. The searchbar is friendly but let's face it not very clever. It doesnt recognize Katherine on a picture..it will only give Du results if the image is somehow marked with the words "Katherine Heigl".
That is the reason Von the way why people keep moaning aboot keywords! Not to be bossy oder rude but because Du need to add Schlagwörter so your friend the searchbar can find things!
And Du see in the image above that Du get Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh results, too, when searching for Katherine Heigl..Why Du ask? Because someone added the wrong keywords!
Also just putting "KH <3<3" in the Titel of the picture will not result in people being able to find the image when looking for "Katherine Heigl". It just won't! Now maybe Du say: All Fans call her KH - like we call "How I met your Mother" HIMYM- but try that, type in KH, and Du might get some Katherine Heigl pictures along the way- but mostly a lot of "Kingdom Hearts" ( I don't even know what that is to be honest) results to click through.
Wouldn't it be MUCH easier if all Bilder with Katherine Heigl on them would pop up when Du want them to and NO Kingdom Hearts results? Isn't that what Du would expect? Why on earth would Du want "Kindom Hearts" results when looking for Katherine Heigl?
( I researched: Its a game..now the woman is busy but I'm pretty sure she isn't in that.)
That is why when submitting an image oder any other type of content think of your fellow fans. Think of new users who come here and want to find things they are a Fan of. Mark your content so it can be found with the help of your friend: The dense but well intentioned searchbar!
2) Searching on a spot
Now this Suchen hasn't been around as long as the other. On each spot on the oben, nach oben right under the banner there is another Suchen one that is restricted to the club you're currently in. (if Du accidentally use it to Suchen across Fanpop Du can alter the Suchen Von clicking on "search fanpop" the f4 are clever like that and knew we get confused easily).
It's great for finding things that are restricted to a certain spot.
So for example: Du want to make a REALLY original pick with awesome images.
Du think for a while and come up with "Do Du think Katherine Heigl is hot?"
Du have become close Friends with the searchbar and want to see if anyone else was clever enough to come up with such an unusual question.
Don't try to Suchen the whole question, instead use the main words of your Frage and type that into the clubsearch so in this case Katherine hot . Du probably find *gasp* that 4 people before Du had the same idea and Du rest assured that great minds think alike. Normally Du would leave it at that but that Frage just HAS to be asked again so Du go to the "Hottest Actresses" club and try again. Just for the sake of the example let's pretend Du try the Suchen there and it brings back nothing (*coushyeahrightcough*).
So Du post this Frage and want some awesome Bilder to go with your options. Again Du can use the clubsearch because most Bilder of Katherine will be in the "Katherine Heigl"spot and Mehr likely of Katherine alone rather than searching across Fanpop where Du will also get a lot of Bilder with her as Izzie (probably together with Alex who really has no business being on your pick.) Du can filter your Suchen again Von category and choose Icons since those will already have the square format Du need.
But what if Du want to ask a Mehr specific Frage aboot e.g. a dress she wore? Du want to ask which dress looked better on her the one she wore to the "Academy Awards" in 2008 (no idea if she was invited to that but please play along) oder the one she wore at the "Knocked up" premiere? Du want your options and the Bilder to match of course since people might not remember them both. Also you're pretty sure pictures of both events were gepostet on the spot but Du really don't remember when and don't want to click through endless results Du get when looking at the Bilder section.
Wouldn't it be just insanely helpful if Du got the results Du needed when searching for "Academy Awards" oder "Oscar" on the Katherine Heigl clubsearch? Just imagine the person who uploaded the Bilder was kind enough to put "oscars" "academy awards" "2008" "kathrine heigl" (and maybe some Mehr that fit like "red carpet")in the keywords! Du would find what Du need instantly!
So remember when adding stuff to fanpop: think aboot your friend the searchbar! Be kind! Help the poor thing to do its work. It doesn't only operate on Schlagwörter but also on titles so pay attention to both (for spots/clubs it also works with the submotto for some reason I can't quite grasp :S...just type in "love" and Du will see what I mean.).
Don't PLEASE just don't tag stuff thats NOT in the image/video. If you're uploading "Izzie" Icons to the Grey's Anatomy spot don't tag other characters.
Don't use all Schlagwörter available just to put some. Also and this might to news to some: Du can type your own keywords! So Du can actually type in "oscar" "academy awards" etc yourself separating them Von commas! Bulk uploading kills Schlagwörter as Snerkie once sagte but I won't stop Du from doing that anyway but please at least don't tag things that AREN'T in the picture. That is just frustrating to everyone else.
As for titles: its never a good idea to put "OTH <3<3" oder "LYK OMG SO HAWT" oder any other abbreviations oder textspeak. Try to make the titles simple and "searchable" (why THAT'S not a word in the English language is beyond me..but Du know what I mean). The "KH" example oder putting "GG" which can be Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls oder even GOLDEN GIRLS for that matter shows Du how it might confuse things for people.
I think its fine to post "updated" repeats but be sure to mark them as such. So instead of asking "Is Katherine Heigl hot?" Du could ask "After Katherine Heigl dyed her hair, got plastic surgery and is now a dude: Is she still hot? and it wouldn't really be a repeat.
So Weiter time Du want to add something to Fanpop please do two things use a touch of common sense and PLEASE use your friend: The Searchbar!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my Updates and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of Schlagwörter so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.

Big news! I, personally have sent an application for a new Artikel for Fanpop on Wikipedia! Hopefully, within the month, Fanpop will have a Wikipedia Artikel for Du all to check out and add onto! Additionally, this may help make Fanpop Mehr well known.
Boy, I can almost TASTE it- a big, beefy record of history about Fanpop's past, present, and future!
If Du want to see proof, just click this link.

Just scroll down to the little Internet section.
