Ideas from the Demo

[cromdenne]

Just thought I'd compile a list of ideas that were brought up by people who viewed our demo.

1. "Back to Search" feature when viewing a listing
2. "Negative" searches -- for example, having the ability to exclude a landlord from your search; possibly re-shapes our way of thinking about search, maybe something more similar to this example from amazon, where it shows at the top of the content area the search criteria that you've selected and which narrower criteria you can select in the left pane

   This would probably be a big undertaking, maybe not necessary, but just something to think about.
3. Storing apartment buildings as objects so that individual units don't flood the search results
4. Storing info entered on a form so that if recaptcha fails the info isn't lost

Yeah, I think those ideas are really useful.

One thing I remember that people said about was that we make sure the page,
after a user enters a wrong input to the captcha chk, automatically fills
the fields the user had already entered some input.

Definitely a good point, forgot about that one. Probably forgetting about other stuff too, feel free to add anything I missed or just any other ideas.
