in thread Super Search sees '//' everywhere?

Hmm. But how often does "://" come up in Perl code? Would it be possible to have Super Search exlude "://" results by default when someone searches for "//"?

    Not unless you come up with the SQL to do that (I'm pretty sure it isn't possible). Note that using regexes (RLIKE) is not an option due to their severe performance penalty (as noted in previous discussions).

      Has any thought been given to searching only code blocks (or excluding code blocks)? That would at least help. I guess the other option would be to replace [*://] blocks with some different sequence internally. Of course those are about as likely to happen as me committing seppuku with my cheap, dull wakizashi or tanto for even mentioning them! =:-)

      So... title only searches for the win! :-)

        I don't sense any sarcasm in "title only searches". You surely know that going by titles alone will lead you to nowhere some of the time, no?
