Including posts that have upvoted comments increases the likelihood of getting questions with variants of the "what have you tried" comments indexed. And frankly, I'd rather err on the side of fewer indexed questions to help limit the crap. | |

Please don't! Noooooo!" but it can be something more technical. Doesn't the same rationale fit for this situation? | |
