http://tinyurl.com/55bcr6 < since the autoparse code fucks up my shortened link in an a href tag

Am I missing something?

There's not a single instance of "best" in any of the thread titles



or am i being a retard

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 7:34 AM. Reason : and the autoparse code still fucks up in a href tags.. bombs out HARD and im too lazy for tinyurl ]

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 7:34 AM. Reason : wtf]

probably cause tww is low-class (good, better, best)

maybe you shouldn't be so snooty in your search requests

clearly there were not many hits for "best" so it used ~synonyms. pretty cool feature if you ask me.

what's funny is that it didnt find any of the threads with best in it on the first page at the time.

if it used a synonym it should be both the synonym list and the original search string, not excluding the search string

i'm not whining, i just think it's a bug.

I try to constructively point them out in order to provide a better user experience.

know what i mean

^ They don't know what you mean. Constructive criticism is a fairly foreign concept on TWW.

message_search.aspx?type=topic§ion=9&searchstring=ups

Maybe this is why there are so many UPS threads

You know, some kind of date constraint is long overdue. The Wolf Web is mad old with some mad old threads.

bump

i search for Corning

and I get a bunch of threads and posts about corn

what is the syntax I should use to ensure results contain the exact search query and not a variant?
