I participate in a private tourney and every now and again I'm the quiz master who would be responsible for configuring a custom category one or more times per week. I enjoy doing this, but at the same time am frustrated because the index and search ability for searching for private tournament custom category materials is pretty disappointing.

I've tried looking for a lot of different possible topics and have failed miserably. I can find specific quizzes on the topics that I'd want to play or have my friends and competitors play through, but can't do that.

Is there some hope that perhaps in the future the custom category option could be set to point to a specific quiz number? So if I know there's an existing quiz that I'd want my friends to play that I could simply set the quiz of the day to the quiz number or address of that particular quiz?

Any hope that perhaps the index would see improvements so that searching for say "Wright Brothers" would show quizzes about them?

Terry has said he wants to fix the private tourneys to be able to access all the new questions rather than the dated and limited database that they currently use, but because it's a major job to rewrite the programming, he hasn't gotten around to it yet. Since I also run a private tournament, I am looking forward to that as well.

I definitely appreciate the effort and hope it comes soon smile
