    It was an inside joke I think so use of the specific word was not required. This was an actual search done by someone through AOL that was found by searching their released search results. The specific user and what he searched for is here.

    In this site search for firefox you get 17 hits. Search for internet explorer you get 1650 hits. IE wins 100 to 1 over Firefox! But this is AOLcrowd, what else would you expect? I am really surprised there is one aoler who actually tried to find the comparison between IE7 and FireFox!!

    This site is a treasure trove. Let me play with it a little more. Republicans, Democrats, Evolution, Intelligent Design, so many comparisons to make, so little time!

    Pretty cool seeing people get this data into searchable form, like on:
    http://www.aolsearchdatabase.com/

    I did a search on there this morning, and it displays the SQL statement for me, which is very handy...

    Select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * from search_data WHERE match (anon_id,query,click_url) against ('4417749 ') LIMIT 0,30

    Interestingly, if you do the standard SQL injection, searching for something like "4417749') LIMIT 0,30; DROP TABLE SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS;--", I bet you will screw it up for them. Kids, don't try this at home. I'd never encourage people to do something illegal!

    The point of this posting is:
    Learn about SQL Injection, and protect against it.
    Don't display your SQL query to your users.

    If you don't know what SQL injection is, try a simple example: Search for "1','0" (skip the double quotes, but not the single quotes) and you'll see it in action without causing harm.


    Good luck trying to drop the table SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS when it is a field in the search_data table.

    Let me guess, you're another slashdot mod_perl evangelist and PHP sucks because slashdot does not use it. (Ignoring the fact that slashcode is horrifically buggy and that web applications written in perl run as slow as molasses...)
