>>I mean, did you, personally, ever found a related thread through that search?
It's allowed me to find threads I would have otherwise missed, and ones I'd forgotten about. Let's call it a (Re)Discovery tool. Wished it worked better, but I'm not paid enough to care..
The general search has been so broken as to be next to pointless. I use Google mostly, but the quality of that is not nearly as good as it was two decades ago. So much material that's badly indexed to the point it can't find things I've seen or written before, even with nearly exact phrasing.
>>That won't improve *mutual relevance* relationships.
Yeah, well I'd like to magically work better too, but first we have to identify it as a problem, and understand why it's doing such a *** job. The things that continually frustrates me with this site is the lack of any vision about what's important in the presentation and navigation of information. And a focus on metrics that really don't measure the problem or success/failure properly.
Anyway, I'm the least paid guy in the room that matters, what do I know?
