- bshipp 5y agoIt's polite, pedantic, and incredibly useful digressions like this which keep me coming back to HN. I had no idea this homonym could describe two separate actions (i.e. casting a broad net to grab whatever is in the path vs. a systematic search covering a specified area) that both still work perfectly to describe how I interact with the Internet Archive. I'd say it was intentional, but that'd be a bald-faced lie.
