this is the most pointless comment genre on hn.
who really has a problem disambiguating when searching with other keywords? it's not like search engine are hashtables. have you ever been unable to find the right thing after adding at most two keywords? even more likely that google knows if you're searching for apache poi you're not interested in theorem proving so they point you to the right entity immediately.

- mhh__ 6y agoIt can be fairly annoying. People love to name projects after things in physics (particles mainly) which can make googling slightly annoying although luckily 99% of the results I'm looking for are on stackexchange or arxiv.

Notifying a project of possible conflicts that would reduce its visibility is hardly pointless. And in this specific case, if you spend a moment looking at Apache POI, you'll see that it contains an equation solver, so yes indeed when looking for one you could need to disambiguate the results.
