what we really need is a working keyword/tag system.

Yeah, I was thinking last night about the mechanism I use to find code and old nodes..... I rely on the node title as I save it(I often rename them to be more descriptive). So what we really need is to have node titles be more descriptive and accurate, so when the search engine shows all the results, we can find good ones quicker. How about when you post a node, there is a little checkbox array, that you are required to select at least one, and that would be automatically prefixed to the title you give. Like "Question Code Meditation Perlmonks-related". Additionally, the search engine should be able to pull out nodes that use a certain module, like "find all nodes that contain "use MIME::Lite".

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
