that doesn't exist, leads to https://barter.vg/search?q=sub%2F99999999 and so on
Bad design potential
If there were an item titled i/1
, search would go to that profile instead of https://barter.vg/i/1/?
What problem does this feature address?
app, sub and i strings refer to specific items, but search doesn't display them in results or automatically redirect. Other than to edit URLs, a searcher will not find the items in question.
Describe a solution
When searching
app/
sub/
ori/
the page will redirect to the profile, or if it doesn't exist, the search results with a note that the profile doesn't exist.Examples of similar features
Exact match titles redirect to the profiles.
https://barter.vg/steam/app/#
goes to the equivalenthttps://barter.vg/i/#
if it exists.Notes
