in reply to New node - Supersearch - Feature proposal !

let me know what is wrong with this

The general idea is that people should have been reading and searching for answers before they post questions.

If they already did, they might be a little bit annoyed by some wise guy "artificial intelligence" telling them to look somewhere they already looked... but that's not the biggest problem.

It would rather be challenging to devise the artificial intelligence to understand somemonk's request in the way it was meant. See, that's hard to do for people, it will take a lot of effort to make a machine that wise and insightful.

Next thing, if the search takes too long, it might scare the poster away - he might find the process too tiresome.

I find your post intriguing though, but I did not think it worth a vote - yet =)

Maybe you might spend time to narrow in on how PM should be able to "answer questions in advance" ... right, I am getting carried away now.

Cheers, Sören

    Howdy!

    Immediately brought to mind the horrifying thought articulated in the Sunday, 9 October 2005 User Friendly.
