Numeric Tags & Filter (Feature Request)

Feature
1

There are forums which deal with videos, and ones where people lists sale information. Both have a numeric measurement to them - duration and price.

It would be useful if a tag can be set to contain a numeric value, and one can filter / sort topics based on it.

For example, for a site listing videos, a #duration tag can be attached with a value in minutes. One can then use parameters such as tags:duration=>10 to search for topics containing videos longer than 10 minutes.

Some range-filter sliders can probably be set in advanced search to help users utilize the feature.

do we have any update on this feature request?

It is not my place to comment what happens in discourse-dev, but this feature request has two likes and no votes after two years :man_shrugging:

I would take another route, not perfect, but it might do the job. Using something like #duration-10+ (no, I don’t know if + is allowed in tags, but anyway).

You could also solve this with a custom field and a bespoke new column on a topic list? The new topic list API makes this easier.

You could also add a search extension.

If you have budget I’d be glad to assist.
