I don’t understand what keywords do, but okay. I’ll take a shot at the keyword game.

Under the main topic/start of the thread, in a line between the post and the donation request, before the first post; there is a “Topics” and “Keywords” section.

(how was that for run on, use of commas, and a half-breed colon?!?)

The “Keywords” is our topic at the moment. Any logged-in poster can add keywords. Thus the trolls will populate it. If you care to go back and look at some old threads, you’ll see what I mean.

On the Forum page, there is a search box at the top right. In that search box, you put your search words in. The default is to search for keywords on my system, and probably yours, but there is a drop down menu to search for users, etc.

The search works whether you’re logged in or not. I’m often not logged in, but when I want to find the latest Q thread, I type in Qanon in the search bar.

By populating keywords on the post, in our example, a viewer might type in ‘cbts’, ‘greatawakening’, ‘qanon’ or ‘q’ and find this thread. Keywords help people find topics they’re interested in.

You’ll note at the top of the Forum page, there is a list of the most common keyword searches (like ‘banglist’).

Make more sense now?

_________________
Keywords should work like a mini-search engine. Not everyone will search for ‘Q’. Think of it as a digital card catalog. Look on the front matter of old, pre-digital books. You will find a numbered hierarchy of terms that are relative to the contents. These terms are what decided the numerical listing in both the Dewey and Library of Congress systems. Back then, there were limitations on the number of keywords and they are listed in a descending order with the overarching subject matter listed first, then a couple of secondary areas covered in the book. Today, we have no such limits.

Some keywords today are frivolous. You will recognize them. They are a distraction, though. One of the reasons Amazon Kindle limits search terms (which are keywords).
