Would it be possible to add a column to item descriptions giving details of where they drop? I can't find things like electras or anything and the nexus wiki isn't complete yet. Would it be possible?

Also, may I ask how the information is stored? It could be put into a database making php and searches possible... *eyes sparkle*

We very much want to do this but our current databases are junk! PikaDamaru is working on this.

I'd love to help. I have a degree in computer science. And I've handled many DB projects.

Mmmm....forgot to respond to your request for searches. I want that badly too. I have tested the scripts given to us by our host for searching and they are not worthy of the name. They tend to give random hits on words and there is no way to give more weight to one word over another plus their script stops after awhile. You wind up with tons of hits...most of them not what you want at all.

I've also tried the search engines of several other places. Some of which we would have to pay fairly heavy cash to use. Those all want to search the forums even when I specifically tell them NOT to search our subdomains.

So far we haven't found a decent search to use.
