Re: Pointless Search

First of all, your attitude sucks - You post reads as if something is owed to you by vroom and the others that work hard and run PerlMonks as a non-for-profit exercise for the rest of us. I can assure you this is not the case ... You, I and every other monk signed up on this site is and will continue to be greatly indebted to the work of vroom and others in providing this site to us.

Nevertheless, the Everything engine has a number of nodes, such as Nodes to Consider, that you can only access if you have certain user permissions or site management roles - As such, some of the nodes that you may come across through Super Search may be useful (and accessible) to others, but not for you.

If you have continued your Super Search or just had a browse through previous Perl Monks Discussion threads, you have have found previous nodes such as this one, this one and this one which discuss node searching and permissions.

Check your ego at the door and grow up a bit.

I have to say, I'm with rob on this. Maybe he was a bit forthright, but the basic point is a good'un - if the SiteMeisters want to have a bit of a laugh, then one either laughs with them (which I do - I rather like a search engine with attitude) or lumps it. I thought the original node was ironic, until I read the disclaimer at the end. But if it'll make you feel any better, just think yourself lucky you don't have an account with National Westminster Bank. When you tell the ATM to give you some money its default wait message is `WE ARE DEALING WITH YOUR REQUEST` [download] Whadderyamean, request? It's my money! I'm not requesting it, I'm telling you to give it to me, buster! The message should be at least `WE ARE COMPLYING WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS` [download] ... if not `WE ARE OBEYING YOUR ORDERS` [download] So the moral of this story is, in the early twenty-first century, being offended by inanimate objects is the risk one runs. At least if the Perlmonks search engine offends you, you can take comfort in the knowledge you're not paying it to offend you.
