Requesting a small addition to the advanced search
I was wondering if it would be possible to add another option in the advanced search. There are many times where I am wanting to share a video I saw on VideoSift with a friend, and have a tough time separating that particular video from the dozens of others that match my search criteria. I'm hoping that maybe you can teach Sifty how to filter my search with a "Only show videos that you have voted on" selection. This would be *Awsomesauce. Thanks guys for taking this into consideration.

That's a good idea. There have also been times where I know something is a dupe because I've voted on it a while back, but I can't find it. That would definitely help narrow down the search. *quality

Thanks Sarzy. You are very correct sir, that would really help find the dupes. But there seems to be a problem lately. I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or not, but my votes seem to be disappearing. Sifty is forgetting that I voted on some videos. Any thing to be done about that?
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
^ really? Can you give us an example of something that you are 100% sure you voted for? Then we can look into it.
Im 100% sure on several of them in the past few days. Problem is, since I realized, I voted. But here are two examples: http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Aristocrats-Eric-Cartmans-Version-Very-Very-Foul-L

I know for 100% sure that I voted on these a while ago. Just recently i wanted to show them to a friend, and my vote wasn't there. I voted on them again.
Awesome idea.
Would definitely be a good suggestion, however, it's not technically feasible because such functionality is not supported by our new, fast search system. I guess the only other alternative would be to search through your list of voted on vids in your profile?
Of course a custom google search would help as well. E.g.,
google.com/search?q=inurl:arsenault185+inurl:votedu
p+site:videosift.com+military
Hmm. Sorry to hear that. But there Isn't there a way to incorporate the filter selection like we have in the Unsifted section? Maybe just build a simalar filter into the results page?
