[Clipart] what new items needed?

[Bill Last NameS]

I think just a simple request page is the best.
I think capturing the queries might be valid but going through it might be time consuming and might not give you optimal results of what a person is looking for.
How many actual queries are there in a day?

I'll give you an example of what I was doing last week.

I tend to go for broad searches as I rather search a few pages then come up with nothing.

My search terms were, 2012 November, election, vote, calendar, now none of those queries didn't really pinpoint what I actually wanted.
I wanted was some kind of picture of a calendar showing Election day, November 13, 2012.

Bill

Good idea but this will be hard to implement, better not assume what
users intent to do, and just allow them to say what they want to do,
pseudo inteligent systems are pain to use, I hate them.

We can add button with message, "no more results. Will you want more of
<query>? [Yes]" and this will add <query> to the list of requests the
same with empty query "Do you want to make request for this query?
[Yes]", and if few people add the same request it will increase the
number of request for the same query, and list for artist can be sorted
by number of requests (and it should show that number too), and every
request should have up (me too) button which is assign to IP number so
not users will be able to request.
