++ for an interesting idea.

However, your penultimate question, "Is there any reason that this is not convenient/desirable/possible to implement?" goes to the nub regarding implementation of this (and many other) good ideas.

...convenient?
For whom, for what values of "convenient?" I suspect implementing this within PerlMonks existing (and complex) framework would be arduous (as one possible antonym for "convenient). Moreover, developing a schema for tagging querries, without requiring the user to provide the tags, comes close to requiring natural language parsing, an endeavor which has already proven more than merely arduous. And if the requirement is that the users of SS provide the tags, you have

  1. a chicken-and-egg problem (Many who SuperSearch may be unable to accurately tag with words or phrases of which they have no knowledge) and...
  2. a massive re-education/culture-change task ahead, as tagging is not a part of this culture.

...possible?
The answer(s) will have to come from the wisest of the Monastery's wise.

That said, this rambling response is in no sense meant to cast ice water on your idea. My breadth of ignorance (and utter lack of any CS background) make it appear to me to have merit. Thanks for an intriguing proposal.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
