You can find things in the subject, but, most of the hits, when I searched for SPI, didn't have any more than a simple reference to SPI in 'em. [...] If you find 1 useful post for every 100 hits, you're not going to spend much time searching. That's true; but these machines, you know, they are rather dumb - how would you improve the search engine? It has to be you, the user of the search, who use the "human" thinking and supply relevant keywords. Richard Erlacher said:
At the risk of increasing the burden on the moderators, I'm going to make a suggestion ...
How about the moderator(s) imposing a "supertitle" to a thread when the O/P's title doesn't shed light on the subject? I'm afraid the moderators simply cannot take this burden. Would you, Richard? Jan Waclawek PS. there's nothing new under the sun... http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=87495 |
