in thread Super Search sees '//' everywhere?

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?

        To be honest, I wasn't aware of that but regardless it's obviously not a very good solution.

        Regarding sarcasm.... In online gaming, especially in MMORPGs, "For the Win" (usually abbreviated as "FTW") is a popular colloquialism usually steeped in sarcasm and/or irony. So yeah, it was there. I thought the seppuku reference would be a dead giveaway that I was being facetious. ;-)

        Sometimes, when there's no good solution, then joking about the situation is the best response! :-)

        Update: Apologies for the terrible pun! I swear I didn't mean it! Cross my heart and hope to.... Oh geez, nevermind!!! ;-)
