The one where you can't search any three letter word because it's deemed "too common" lmao.

Want to search "FDS"? Lol nope.

It’s the default search engine that ships with the forum software, it’s pretty weak.

However, as I have mentioned many times you can use google’s “site:” tag to limit your Google search to this site, thusly:

If Google is your default search engine in your url location bar type:

site http://www.sosuave.net/forums “<quoted search terms>”

if not go to google.com and type it in the search box.

And hit ENTER.

and you’ll get the results you want @BillyPilgrim

I am familiar with this, but even this method has pretty poor results. I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the "post a pic of a 10" thread on google and couldn't find it. Seems like many threads aren't even indexed.

Huh, it was almost at the bottom of the first page for me when I search that. I hadn't quite remembered the original title so I originally I had searched specific keywords like "post", "photo" and "10" with other words in different combinations. If you don't know the exact title it's pretty hard.

Well searches are literal, search engines have no comprehension they can find stuff, but searching for “fruit” instead of say “oranges” is kinda futile.

An LLM enhanced search engine might be able to understand the “spirit” of your search in the future, I’ve read all the engines are considering this.

The reason LLM searches are so powerful is that they come up with alternate search terms and run hundreds of these in parallel and choose the most relevant to compute the answers as best they can.

I’ve been tempted to put up an LLM and have it learn from SoSuave exclusively, that would be utterly hilarious to play with given some of the whacky stuff that’s been posted over the years.

Why, do you plan on becoming a developer now too?

No, I'm just wanting to learn some programming to perhaps start a website design business.

PHP & MySQL are still around?
