(Suggestion) Cross-reff "words" for searches, in our content.

It seems to be common to attempt to fit every possible word into an items "smart content", "Tags" or "description". Which can sort-of make searches more functional, but can be real demanding and equally as limiting, in many instances.

One specific instance I will use is the word "box".

I could make a box, and tag it with "Box, Crate, Square, Cube, Wooden Crate, Plastic Crate, Wooden Box, Plastic Box, Empty Box, ... ..." (Insert a million other redundant tags)

or...

Daz's search could be a little more intuitive, as google is, and if I simply type "Box", any direct matches for "Box" come first, then linked-words come next, "Wooden Box". Then, using a "smart word-bank", by looking at other tags within other literal and linked-words, and possibly an online helper or word-bank...

The search would ALSO look for, "Cube", and "Square", and "Crate", and "Fight", and "Boxing", and "Corrigate", and "Container", and "Dog", and "Boxer"...

I realize the search will ALSO show "Boxing" and "Boxer", due to "BOX___" being in the word, but looking into them, you pull, "Fight" and "Dog", which might be relevant, if looking for boxing equipment, like a "Fighting Ring", which doesn't have "Box" in it, due to a lack of "Million-word-descriptions".

Also, this can provide space-savings, if multiple tags are similar or redundant variations, which can be "stripped", if they would show-up from a "word-association match". Such as, "Box" and "Boxes", and "Boxer", and "Boxing", and "Boxing Ring", and "Boxing Rink", and "Plastic Boxing Ring", "Fighter Ring", "WWF", "NCAA", "WWE", "UWF", etc... being tagged in "Boxing Gloves"

This is where I think that our "Custom tags", if harvested by Daz, and auto-evaluated as "most searched", and "most relevant", could aid and extend product descriptions. (Your store already does an AWESOME job of doing this, but google still does it better. Especially on phrases of words, to narrow it down.) Simply apply that, or extend Daz to use that info. Directly {local storage}, or remotely {by online integration}.

I literally google Daz items, just to find the items online and get the actual product name... Then type the actual name into Daz Studio, to see if I have that item, or items, or similar items. That is faster and more functional then Daz's search, which can take forever to find one item among millions that stupidly have descriptions, though they can only be used on specific items that are "smart", or can't even be used at all, alone. (Which Daz still searches through, only to tell you they are hidden. Then they do nothing when selected.)

While it's true that tags aren't always helpful, and an extremely smart search function could often be more efficient and faster, there are times when I don't want to find just any box or every box but a specific box that I had in mind for a specific look/purpose. Having said that, I wouldn't mind having both and letting the user ultimately choose what is best for their particular workflow.

What gets me is that I can do searches for stuff I know is there and the search fails. Often with Poser directory stuff.

I usually have to open up the directory in windows and do a file search to find the directory. That's... dumb.
