simple solution to faq

[cjcasati at hotmail.com]

Here is a simple compromise to the faq. The archives are difficult to
search. A lot of times I read "look for xxx and yyy in the archives". As an
example if I were interested in an ecu upgrade for my 5000tq I would
probably type in "5000 ecu upgrade", I get 169 results.

But if I knew what to look for I might type in "mac-11 ecu upgrade 1.8
spring wastegate", I get 5 results.

Now, I am far away from knowing all the proper things to look for when
typing in search terms for something (including the above, that was just at
random). But many of you guys do and that's the point here: What if we
designed a simple page that has the obvious categories (drivetrain, EFI,
suspension) and under each category has words listing the areas of interest
(e.g. here 5000 chip tuning) with an <href> that sends you off to the
audifans site and looks in the archive with the search terms as entered by a
specialist.

I cannot show that here since I dont want to send HTML mail but imageine you
would see underlined "5000 chip tuning" and clicked on this:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=site:www.audifans.com+mac%
2D11+ecu+upgrade+1%2E8+spring+wastegate

If people agree that this might work a simple form and some script would
allow people to enter the title and the search terms plus assign a category,
submitting it to a simple page holding all search terms. To all Bill Gates
haters: I agree but I focus on ASP because of its deployment speed, one day
I will learn PHP/MySQL... I am sure we have someone on the list who could do
this for audifans.com in PHP, otherwise I offer space on my site to do this.

Sorry about the length, mail me off list if we like this and want to pursue.
