Subject: RE: DTStudy: A Proposal
I think those listed in the "Origins Of" thread plus any Malcolm has noted, as he described above, should be the first round.

And I have a question. Say you are doing a Supersearch on a term like @spiritual. Will it give you all the DT entries for that keyword PLUS all the forum songs where someone has tagged them with that keyword right in the thread, either a harvestor passing by or the poster? Because if that is so, think of how searchable by category the forum songs would be if these were routinely applied. If there were a list of keywords WITH SHORT DEFINITIONS to draw on....

Have we ever estimated the number of songs posted in the forum? Caramba! If that resource could be quantified!

Hi, Susan - Right now, the SuperSearch doesn't work very well on the Digital Tradition categories, like @spiritual. You can do a category search in the blue DigiTrad search box. Pene Azul is working on a solution to the problem SuperSearch has with categories.
