DIY Posts - An idea for all to consider

I had this amazing thought today....
Well not so amazing but here goes. As you all know when doing a search sometimes it returns many, many more posts than you need to get the info you want. Although reading all of them can be fun but time consuming.
I thought that as a way around this if we posted with DIY in the subject line or the start of the post (which does the search function look for?) whenever someone is posting instructions on how to do something that they have accomplished this may make the search a little better as you could then search for "DIY AND (your subject of interest)"
The original poster could also edit their message and paste it to a new one with this identifier if folks feel it would be of value!

actually since "DIY" is used so much perhaps a slight variation on this would be better i.e. reversing it to "YID". The main problem I would see is that someone will have to moderate to some extent or perhaps it would be self moderating if several folks post the way they did it under the original post if there are variations.
In fact I think there is a general list of topics that would be of real value to everyone, e.g. IP timing...
Input anyone?
Personally I like it!
