search by figure subject (i.e. figure dancers) #510

Open dcmorse opened 5 years ago

dcmorse commented 5 years ago

even if you don't know the move: you can search by dancers in the figure.

I see this being of least usefulness among the 4 offered searches here, but I can see an argument for including it out of completeness. Can you an envision a search someone would want to run?

dcmorse commented 5 years ago

EDIT - WRONG!:

I think I misrepresented this when I said 'subject'. I mean compile the figure into words, then do a word search. So for example you could search for the word 'ricochet' or 'sashay' or 'balance', and it would work pretty magically.

Wait, ignore previous comment!

So this story is about being able to search for '2nd shadows' or '3rd neighbors'. I'm not sure that was clear.

cranhandler commented 5 years ago

Oh, I was assuming 'subject-object' relationship, as in 'gentlespoon rolls the ladle away', which ... didn't really seem like a search that would ever be useful to me?

Interacting with '2nd shadows' is desirable to search, though. Suggest we come up with a better way to describe the broad case of the search. Maybe 'with whom?'

We could just have it be 'search on dancers', and leave it on that. That's easiest.
