Searching Snippets

Posted 21 October 2009 - 09:12 AM

I finally thought of something that I think could be improved upon here at DIC. :)

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I think it would be really cool if we could search the snippets, like you can at the other forums here. For example, if I want to find out how to print a diamond in C, it would be awesome if I could just type a couple of words in a search box in the C and C++ snippets section instead of having to go through the entire list trying to find it.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

Not sure how well it works, but my tests have proven fruitful.

Type your search in to the search box, then you should be able to click "Code Snippets" under the ad where it says "Refine Results For...."

It will push any snippets that match your search to the top of the results.

Worked for "print a diamond"

Hey, you're right. It does work. Was the option to refine your search always there?
