Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
Scenario:
I am searching for a book,course etc. It is not critical for me right now or I am just curious or I may need it in the future, but I got 0 search results and it is not worth making a new special request for it. Also it might be important for someone else.
Idea:
Allow the uploader to see the search query that returns zero results, so they can know what people are searching for so they can upload it later if they want.
It can be a page where the uploader can see the search queries where the max number of search words is grater than 3 words for example (any suitable constraint), that means it will be more likely a specific resource like a book or a course for example and not like C#, C++, PHP or food or a general term (search for exploring).
Or maybe at the end of the page when no result we add like 'This is a course','This is a book' with some validation for example the minimum number of words in the search query just to ensure the quality of the requests.
This can affect the community requests section in a way, maybe it will be for critical resources that people really need. Probably no one will submit a new request for a resource that he/she is just curious about, knowing that it might be available in the future by the uploader if they found it worth. Increasing the likelihood that others will find it later, SA will appear more in google,less moderation efforts ...etc. maybe it will make the request section become inactive.
A term like 'Implicit Request' would describe this feature whereas the community request section like 'Explicit Request','Urgent Request'.
What do you think?
