I remember there were a few Frank Miller fans here so I was wondering if you guys are excited about the new Sin City movie.

Alexis Bledel is also in this movie. Nice to see her mixing up her image a bit.

Oh come on, you could have at least looked at page two and seen this:

SIN CITY

But yes, I am certainly looking forward to it.

Yikes, sorry about that. I did a "sin city" search with quotation marks and came up with nothing. Must...remember...forum...search...quirks... [Smile]

Heh, I've very nearly given up on the forum search. When it starts searching in two different manners in one night, I decide it probably isn't worth it.

The forum search problems are only quirks in the same way that a person who flips a coin to decide whether or not he is going to stop at the next traffic light has a "quirk."

Jessica Alba, however, remains crazy hot. Forum search quirks or no.

Yes, I am consistently amazed at how awful the forum search engine is, given how well solved basic search is.

I'd be hard pressed to write a program that returned these search results.

There's no pattern to it.

Its due to a crappy indexer that gets confused by edits, which seems to be completely lacking a tokenizer, I think.

I agree Fugu, but while I think tokenizing would be better, everyonce in a while, it's kind of nice to not have it. [Dont Know] (By the way, my "agree" included the edit remark as well [Smile] ).

You think? Because I've had non-edited posts simply disappear from search results. Do the edits mess up the pointers to the posts, or just the contents being indexed?

Either way, if this were in Postgres we wouldn't be having this problem. [Smile]

Heh, I am likewise a postgres fan, but really, the search engine should be independent of the database for small datasets like this.

And Hobbes, an appropriate tokenizer would be far better.

How about a Tolkienizer? Add a bit of Middle Earth to everyday life.

OK, I've exceeded my monthly limit of Hatrack idiocy. [Sleep]

p.s. Once in a while I try Goggle's "site:" search. The results are interesting. [Smile]

I agree Fugu, but every once in a while it helps. [Smile]

Hmm. I wonder what is at goggle.com. I also clicked this thread to read about Jessica Alba.
