proper tagging

[owzim]

we should decide on a taggin guidline. The tags get cluttered if one uses fields and the other use field, or: template vs templates

it's either or! :)

Good point. Let's start with: "Use singular", "Before you tag your recipe, have a look into the tag list and try to prevent close-to-identical doublets".

[owzim]

I'd choose plural, because it's better for searching (depending on the search implementation).

Plural

👍 a search for either template or templates would spit out stuff tagged templates

Singular

👎 only a search for template would spit out stuff tagged template

[marcus-herrmann]

Sounds logical. Plural it is.

[owzim]

We have many singulars already. Some are actually suited, some are not.

Is it possible to to search for plurals and singulars at the same time?

Just remove the trailing s from the search query, if it's there.

[marcus-herrmann]

So your proposal is: while processing the search query, check it against an API-list (users, templates, pages, fields) and remove the "s" in that case?

IMO the search is not the most important issue of PWR - the number of recipes are. As soon as there's enough to search in the first place, I would like to skip mysql search and would like to fiddle around with Algolia, Elastic, Solr, whatever. But the recipes pool has to reach a critical mass first.
