Okay, you know how you can put tags on lightposts? Descriptions too? That got me thinking, why not use the information from lightposts to make a search engine?
Also, I have an idea that could possibly save memory on the PMOG severs AND get people to use more lightposts. PMOG should only track pages with lightposts on them. What do you people think?

That's incredibly biased to pathmakers and not fair to the rest of us. Takes the "passive" part out. I don't make a lot of missions. And I tend to only take them when I need DP or want to level up more. I just do my surfing thang. Which is sort of the point.

(I also don't want to see pointless missions/comics missions/badges missions proliferate needlessly, AND I have my settings set to show me 3-4 star missions and higher, depending on whether I'm at work or at home. I would miss a lot.)

And you can already search missions from the Missions page.

When I said "search engine", meant like a search engine like google, yahoo, or dogpile. Not to search missions, but to search the web.
But yeah, I kinda' thought it was pathmaker bias'd too.
not sure how that would ruin the passiveness though.

because instead of just going about our daily routines, we would be searching out missions/lightposted pages, is all. It becomes much harder to play.
