It's not about a single search satisfying all of those properties. I'm just saying I want them all as defaults: that is to say, I don't find it reasonable that I should have to go find the search options page and turn verbatim search off every time I'm about to make a search where synonyms might be helpful, and turn it on again every time I'm about to make a search which might be autocorrected.
- VikingCoder 15y ago...so, if you type something where synonyms might be helpful, it should automatically use synonyms... ...but, sometimes you want to type something that looks like it should be autocorrected, but you want it to not autocorrect it... ...and it's not enough that you can do these things - you want them to happen automatically? I'm sorry, but that is not "a search tool that does what you ask for," that's MAGIC that you want. If you think a search engine exists that does this better, please tell us all about it, because I think it would be an example of an intelligent machine, in the Turing Test sense.
- waqf 15y agoI certainly can tell you about it, because robrenaud directed me to one in this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3508005 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3508005. I have just tested it and it does exactly what I asked for.
