[to be completed, if people think this is a good idea]
Have all halfbakery categories in one page, so that a simple browser search will show you all the entries.
[2015 edit] I deleted the long list since flyingtoaster's link gives a better solution.
Please note: It would still be nice to be able to search while adding an idea and looking for the proper category-- pashute, May 29 2013 as linked by [krelnik] in... Category_20Search [FlyingToaster, May 29 2013] or you could look at the bottom of my account page for a url entitled "All Categories" ... is that what you mean ?-- FlyingToaster, May 29 2013 Well, yes, I did not know of that.
Still this idea has the benefit of adding an explanation in parenthesis.
How do I add the "All categories" as a permanent link in my main halfbakery page (on my halfbakery sidebar?)-- pashute, May 29 2013 Or just view the source of the add idea page, which is fast, easy, and nicely searchable.-- ytk, May 29 2013 //Or just view the source of the add idea page
That's what I do, but it can be a bugger on the eyes.
I vote "superconducting cheese" gets it's own category..-- not_morrison_rm, May 29 2013 I think I got it off of [21Quest] who copied it from [krelnik]'s original link in a similar Idea <link>.
I used to have a .txt of them on my hard-disk, painstakingly parsed out from the table, but there was always the chance that [jutta] would add to or modify the live list.-- FlyingToaster, May 29 2013 random, halfbakery
