Interesting --- in my experience, a thesaurus is a very dangerous thing,
|
||
and ending completions for technical docs is very nearly the same.
|
||
|
||
Since I am one of those stuck with the ESS Solo1 sound on my laptop,
|
||
it interests me; I don't know if you have the solo1.txt from the
|
||
Kernel docs in the collection, but you do have the ALSA and OSS docs:
|
||
The simple search "solo" goes astray immediately (someone has to
|
||
explain the 6x86l to me ;)
|
||
|
||
Search results for '(solo or soloed or soloing or solos or sale or 6x86l)'

|
||
|
||
Searching for solo1 is a little better: The RAID page is tops, and the ALSA
|
||
mini-HOWTO is number two, but it goes immediately into Italian afterward
|
||
looking for "sale". What if the actual term was ESSSolo, would that rate
|
||
higher or lower than "sale"?
|
||
|
||
Ok, it was a general search, but does it really make sense to to
|
||
international searching without asking? Wouldn't it make more sense
|
||
to do a depth-first search? (ie most likely to least likely down one
|
||
particular mirror tree, then start again down the next &c) Shouldn't
|
||
we be constraining the search language? (or select among languages)
|
||
|
||
As much as I dislike Excite, one feature it has which I much prefer to
|
||
rows of penguins is the "more like this" search (after all, it would
|
||
make sense that the highest number of penguins should come before the
|
||
least, so the icons are redundant). While our own intranet will
|
||
invariably produce no positive hits on page one (even with our modest
|
||
collection of RPM docs and various manuals) there is usually one
|
||
in the same context within the top 10 and the second search will
|
||
contain the needed document.
