But I don't see that as a reason to not TRY to improve the site's searching. And I do know that you guys have implemented many awesome advanced search features (stackoverflow.com/search) but these still won't help the new people to find answers or to stop creating dupes. I do recognise the tough position you're in though, with trying to cater for expert programmers and beginners alike. While search many be really hard, I think you should still strive to make it as awesome and intuitive as possible. | |
