No way they'll inflate their indexes even 20% and add complexity into their algorithms for 0.1% queries that won't bring any additional income.

- Retr0id 4y agoThey don't necessarily have to inflate their indexes. Backtick-quoted results ought to be a subset of double-quoted results, so they can use the standard quoted search algorithm, and then filter out imperfect matches from those results.
- mkl 4y agoGoogle searches ignore punctuation, so it's not even indexed, so there's no way to search for punctuation without inflating the index
- Retr0id 4y agoRead what I said. They can use the standard index, then filter the results as a last pass.

- mkl 4y agoI did read what you said. Imagine trying to search for [::] as 8192kjshad09- suggested earlier in the thread. What standard index results are you going to filter? Since "[::]" isn't in the index, you won't have anything to go on. To do your back-tick really-verbatim searches, the index has to be enlarged.
- Retr0id 4y agoAh, sorry, I see what you mean.
