Please, is there a way to find all the HU rewarded filters? High Usage

Hi SpaceRay

You post a lot of questions, but this pleases me, because I had the sames in my mind. Hoping that you (we) will have reply from the FF team.

I thought that there could be a way to do it, but with this answer I think that the answer is no. I am surprised that there is not a way available to be able to find the HU filters

I think that HU filters are probably and posssibly more important, interesting and useful than EP filters because they are choosen by how high usage they have by real people so they must be excellent filters, because I can´t see that a bad filter is able to get a HU.

Usage Rank is not numerical, it has only three grades: Low, Average and High

I agree totally with this and is very good and well thought that is not numerical and is sorted with the 3 grades.

Perhaps I did not explain it well, I am sorry, I am NOT asking for a list of popularity and do not want to know which filter is most used and has a higher rank, or any other similar thing, this is not the point and what I am looking for here.

Please, What I only want is to be able to be able to ONLY SEE HU REWARDED FILTERS in the same and exactly way that the featured filters that have an EP reward is shown. Why would NOT be possible to find the HU rewarded filter if they are the best and most used filters ? Sorry, I can´t see a reason why not. Why can EP filters have it´s own list (that are filters choosen by FF inc.) and the HU filters that reflects real usage, and it is based on how often people use them can not be found an have also theuir own list ? Do not deserve HU filters be also rewarded with a special list as the EP already have ? Do not deserve the filter authors to have their own list that rewards his great and hard work, skills, ideas and implementation and well constructed organization? Why is more important and showable to be able to find EP filters and not HU filters?

Are All the High usage filters given a HU Reward ?

If the answer is yes, it would be probably easy to make a list with only this High usage filters, the same way that are the featured filters.

I really do not know how many HU rewarded filters are but I do not think that they are many and that could fill pages of pages, probably would only be 2 or 3 pages, although I have no idea how many are.

How to show and sort the filters in the list ?

Well it could be used the same method that is used now to show the featured filters whatever it is, or do it randomly, or by any other measure, not numerical.

Alphabetically is not an option as would happen that the A named would be always at top and perhaps a Z filter would be at the end, and perhaps the Z is better than the A filter.

When going to the link I have seen the google search of:

"Usage Rank: High" site:filterforge.com

YES !!! This is an excellent idea to search, very well thought I searched the same way inside the filter forge search and did not work, and also in google, but you have found the perfect way to do limiting the results to only the FF website. Great.

Thanks very much

What ? More than 5000 ?????? I am really surprised

WOW !!! Is really amazing that there are SO MANY HU rewarded filters !!!!

I now know that I was really very wrong thinking that there was only a few, about 300 or so, and there are more than 5000 !!!

I now realize and see why there is not a way to search for HU filters inside filter Forge

This is also a very good thing which means that there are many excellent filters made all of you that are really very useful and are used very much by many people and are highly popular. Very good for FF.

Actually, there are filters that were HU in the past and then have gone down in rating.
If you want to know all the filters that EVER got HU at some point, enter this search string:

Code
"free copy of Filter Forge." site:filterforge.com/filters -ns2 -mail

and see there's about 4,270 results. Impressive.

GMM link = 10.400 results, is wrong for the reasons I have put above "Usage Rank: High" site:filterforge.com Sphinx link = 924 results "Usage Rank: High" site:www.filterforge.com/filters Morgantao link = 4260 results "free copy of Filter Forge." site:filterforge.com/filters -ns2 -mail Spaceray Link without specification = 9370 results "Usage Rank: High" site:filterforge.com/filters SpaceRay link = 3970 results "Usage Rank: High" site:filterforge.com/filters -ns2 -mail

I do not know WHY the Sphinx link gives ONLY 924 results and THE SAME link I have put WITHOUT the WWW gives 9370 results

I bet that the real and true one could be the one from Morgantao probably, although I can´t be sure

Spaceray, I think my number (4260) is the real number for how many filters EVER had a high usage AT SOME POINT.
Sphinx's number (924) is the correct number for how many filters have high usage RIGHT NOW.
