Have you ever had issues finding your or someone else's old content on Steem? Something you know you wrote or read.
I wrote about this before at some point, but not sure how much I covered there... because I can't find it. And that's my fault. I don't remember much about it: not the name of the post precisely enough, not the period when I wrote it or the tags I used. And I haven't built up an index for links with content I might need later.
Now, we have the option to search for the title of the post, scroll back in an interface or...
If you know the period of time when you posted or a specific tag you used, and the post is in the last 1000 finished posts you published, SteemWorld can help. At some point @steemchiller mentioned this limitation will be lifted, but that depended on a component that needed to be finished first.
In my case, I was looking for my Steem SEO Tips series, to see if I added links back and forth to navigate from any post to the previous and the next. Turns out I needed to add two more links.
I remembered the series was a little before Steemfest, so if Steemfest was at the beginning of November, I checked posts in October. And I was right. Last post of October was also the last post of the series.
To find it, all I did was go to Posts in SteemWorld, click on Finished, then click to load the latest 250 posts, which in my case should have been enough - and it was. I left the filter set to date, sorting descending was fine with me, and clicked on October. This is the result. Well, part of it there are 31 posts in October, showed 5 by 5, for every new 5 block of posts you just click "Show more results...".
You can also notice in the image above, at the top, there is a "Search" field, currently disabled.
I imagine when development/conditions will allow it, we will have that field enabled, which will make searching easier, especially if it also takes into consideration the other filter set for date or tag.
If you choose the tag filter, you'll get a list of all your tags, starting with the most used first (in the case of the screenshot below, is seems to be a little bug, as the uninspired tag "2019" -all digits, no letters- is listed first despite being used only once).
If you select "palnet", you only see the posts you published where you included the tag "palnet". That's actually pretty powerful. I don't know a way to filter your own posts by tag from general-purpose interfaces.
If you start typing the tag name or part of it in the filter tags by name field, the list of tags will narrow as you type, showing only the tags that still match. Here's an example:
This is not a complicated feature of SteemWorld. Anyone can use it easily, and the results for finding older content can improve considerably.
