It's sad to me only one person here seems to "get" his point. When I search for something, I still tend to have to open four or five pages to get the answer I'm looking for.
"javascript remove part of an array"
Why when I "search" for that, do I have to parse, in my brain, titles, descriptions (and so on) just to get my answer? I've searched for this a few times before,I know, because I'm terrible at remembering particular functions across languages.
Why can't my browser know when I've found the answer before? Hell, why can't my browser even offer me an option to remember that answer. I'll be happy to highlight it for it, but it's clunky and clumsy with a dumb bookmark. No nuance. Nothing was solved. And god forbid I bookmark every answer I look for; try searching through that.
- MichaelJW 15y agoIt looks like Google are working on it. Here's what I see when I search for [regular expression], as I often do to double-check syntax: http://screencast.com/t/A9DoZXes6 http://screencast.com/t/A9DoZXes6 Edit: It used to be the case that if you bookmarked the result (and had your bookmarks synced with Google), it'd star the result as well. Seems this feature has gone, though.
- jlarocco 15y agoI see your point, but I don't think it's a real problem. Bookmark a Javascript reference and then you can go there directly, no searching necessary. If it's specifically previously answered queries you're interested in, maybe something like OneNote would be a better solution? Then you could search your notes and probably find the old answer with a lot less noise.
