This is a topic to freely discuss the COA search engine:

What do you like? What do you dislike? Does it work for you? Is it user friendly? Do you have ideas how it could be improved?
Daniel73 wrote:For example, take the printed code "H/DD//7801". This is an offical printed code. COA doesn't find this classic story by this code, because it's indexed under a fantasy code. Without tricks it's just impossible to find "H/DD//7801".
And there are many, many more examples.

Ole Damgaard wrote:But as Thomas points out, ddb is incredibly boring and not worth it. As far as I know, it is simply a tool that indexers use to communicate about indexing. No hidden agenda there. Sure, some people are both indexers and publishers, but since this has worked fine for years, then I don't see us (almost)non-indexing readers/researchers need to have a problem with that.
Ole Damgaard wrote:Another thing: since some people dislike the anonymous posting here, allow me to reveal myself; I am (was) Supergoof, before I decided to be a member here. No more of that now.
Daniel73 wrote:Come on. I have contributed good ideas and suggestions, both at DCML and DDB/Inducks. If you see that as trolling, you're surely under-estimating my contributions.
Daniel73 wrote:People can't just index comics without being lured into secrets they're supposed to keep, because of some editor. Maybe you like it, such a dark place.
Daniel73 wrote:I prefer to have an open club for indexers as well. I'm giving a possibility here.
