Have you all seen this video?

Some of us have seen it.

Maybe we should start including the You-tube title in our posts so the search function can identify the original post.

I'm not intending to pick on you...I recognize you may have searched and didn't find this in POA.

For future searches...this idiot doesn't know what go around means

Use the tag feature too
 
I know another aviation website that has two separate forums on the board, one for "YouTube and Other Videos", and another for "News Articles"...

I was looking for it but didn't find it.

I may have missed it on the screen, or follow-on posts can't tag, but the original poster can tag.

I know there was a discussion about tags a short time back...

Follow on posters can tag. The tag entry and tags for the thread are displayed on every thread after the last post on the page and above of the quick reply window. There are two tags there right now as I write this post and I put them there. Metadata is my new life.

I see the new tags...I don't see how to add my own.

A keyword search gave an error...

I know you are having a possible certificate issue. I am not sure if that is stopping you form seeing the edit tab on the tag window. It is located on the right of that window.

found it - added a "video" tag

All the video tag would do is if you search for the metadata tag 'video' you would get a list of threads that have that tag. It would tell you nothing about what the video is. As one could envision that would probably only narrow your chances fo finding something that has been posted.

When coming up with search terms you need descriptive ones. Or be able to search on a enough of them to make a response with greater precision. Problems arise when people use their own biases to tag something.

Take for instance this thread. We have three tags already. St Barts, Go Around, Video.

If someone were looking for information on go arounds this thread may come up. Is it what they intended or needed? What if what they were looking for was go around procedures? Some might call that 'balked landing' and tag accordingly.

For people that tag information for retrival systems there are actually standards on the subject heading thesaurus that one can use to prevent lowered precision responses.

Scott- you are correct...but few of us are trained to use tags in the correct sense as you describe in the quoted material above. That's why I suggested including the title in the thread- a search on the quoted title should recover the thread while being easy to implement for those of us expert in areas other than information technology. I am assuming that the title contains enough terms to make the search narrow enough to find the thread with the video.

Searching on the video title "this idiot doesn't know what go around means" finds only this thread.

Searching on St. Bart by tag finds this thread as well, but "Saint Bart" doesn't, nor does searching on the tag "bart"

Searching on the word "bart" yields many hits.

Either method has advantages & disadvantages- lets try to keep it simple. Simple is good.

Thus, the better solution would be, if I post
 
Tomahawk...if you are still following this thread (and even if you are not)- my apologies. This video wasn't posted on this board as far as I can determine, and my response was improper. Although it was posted on other boards, not everyone here looks at those other places.

Also, thank you for an interesting follow-on discussion.
 
This is the thread it had been posted in before, http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29264

The reason the youtube id did not work for a search function was that the link that was posted was not a youtube link.

These duplicate post things happen. It is no big deal. If there are several threads all of the same topic we can always request the MC to earn their pay ;) and merge the threads

The funny (funny as in interesting) I have been spending the last few months looking to see how searching, including autonomic searches, may be improved. I have been spending lots of time learning how information is stored, cataloged, and classified so as to develop potentially better systems of searching.

Tagging is better than nothing but it is still far from perfect. i
