>>I Google for "_Screen", in just 0.2 seconds, it produce me 996,000 findings, well you know what happen when I try the samething in this forum. Google is for general use and search engine here is for programmers, it is very sacarstic that the former does it better to look for coding syntax like _screen. (even more ironic is the latter refuse to search for technical term)

>Hey, you are comparing the biggest search engine in the universe againsts a product that presently lives on donations. I am sorry but I just cannot compete with that monster. You are talking about millions invested in instrastructure versus 50,000.00$. I would say however that what we have for this site, in general, is something that you will not find as is elsewhere on the net. But, if you compare both search engines, I just cannot compete with that. I do not know if you know what it requires to purchase, setup, maintain and support such infrastructure that would deliver instant search result among terabytes of data. But, the way they go out there, by 2050, I have heard they will index your refrigerator, which is something obviously, we cannot achieve.

Competing with the speed may be a problem indeed. But speed isn't always a prerequisite. There are situations that finding is more important than finding immediately. Perhaps it is an idea to have a second search engine/module that searches slower, but doesn't restrict as much as the current engine?!

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
