Steemgig Completed! Bounty Paid!
Five days ago I put out a bounty. I put the bounty out because I wanted an easy way to search through the content of users on steemit. I thought, if there was a way to look up every post that a certain username had posted in a specific tag, then it would be a lot easier to find posts on certain subjects.
Here is the link to the original bounty post
In the end, I learned about a whole bunch of tools that I was unaware of and even was able to get the specific one that I wanted. A big thanks to @kasperfred for creating this tool : https://steem-tag-search.herokuapp.com/
HERE IS A QUICK VIDEO OF ME EXPLORING THE TOOL
My internet was 3G at the time, so the amount of time that it took to load some of the photos was on my end.
QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE FEATURES
Although the application is not yet optimized, it still gives me the results that I was looking for. If you type in a username and leave the tag section open when you click search, a display of all the tags that steemit username ever posted in will be displayed, starting with the most frequently used. By clicking on a specific tag, it will pull up every post from that user in that tag.
If you already know what tag you want to search, (For example - If you want to only looks at "gardening" posts from @papa-pepper) the enter the tag of your choice into the tag section after entering the username. This will pull up all the posts made in that tag from that user.
Specifics Displayed:
- All posts from the user in that tag
- Sorted in order from most recent to oldest
- Cover image of the post
- Post title
- Number of upvotes
- Total Payout
- Link to original post
Have some fun and give it a try yourself : https://steem-tag-search.herokuapp.com/
For the effort that @kasperfred put forth in providing this tool, I sent over the 500 SBD bounty. The search engine went above and beyond what I had hoped for and displayed them in an excellent way that makes them easy and attractive to search. The liquid SBD/STEEM from the post payout of this post will also be sent to @kasperfred as an added bonus.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Also, since a multitude of interest was generated by my post, many other offsite resources were shared. Here are some other sites that you may not have been aware of. Many people are already enjoying these tools, and I was unaware of most of them, so I figured I'd share about them here.

@theklye also created https://www.asksteem.com/userexplorer specifically to do searches like the one I mentioned

BIG THANKS!
A big thanks to everyone in this community and specifically to those with the knowledge to create things like this. Ideally, I would like to see a tool like this available on the user homepage so that anytime you went to their steemit profile you could search their posts by the tags used, but this will certainly fill in the gap.
I am glad that in this community we are all free to brainstorm, share, question, fund, and develop so that together we can combine our efforts to make this community better day by day. Thank you everyone and STEEM ON!
