Google Expanding To IRC?
AnimeFreak writes "In this The Register article, Google apparently has been involved in a little bit of activity in various IRC channels. According to Google, as asked by IRC Junkie: they're researching ways to improve their service and the activity is only temporary. Could this mean an ability to search for information that is contained on IRC? Services, such as Netsplit.de and Search IRC exist, and both allow the ability to get information from various IRC networks. Is Google trying to replicate what both these sites have done?"
And this ain't IRC.
In Soviet Russia, greased yoda doll shoves YOU up your ass.
Google still cannot do phrase searches with anything like accuracy.
The test of "to be or not to be" fails spectacularly, with 3 of the top 10 results not even having the phrase.
Notes
1) I did the search with the quotes around the phrase. Putting a + in front of the search request made no difference. (Maybe this will prevent someone from saying "put a + in front of it" or "put it in quotes" and getting modded +4 even though the suggestion does not work at all.)
2) Don't say that "Google was looking for pages with that phrase that linked to the results shown". Google itself says of its searches: "Since Google only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query". Since it failed 30% of the time, there is clearly a bug here.
3) Google knows there is a bug in phrase searching. I talked to them 3 or 4 years ago and they said they knew about it and would fix it sometime. The problem has only gotten worse: a few weeks ago, this test produced only 2 errors out of 10.
4) Don't say "what do you expect they have millions of pages". Other search engines and querying systems have no problem with 100% relevancy/accuracy in results.
Ximian developer Chema Celorio died yesterday while skydiving in Mexico. Even if you didn't like wetbacks, there is no denying his contributions to Ximian culture. Truly a Mexican icon. He will be missed.
If I wanted to read the grammatically challenged ramblings of a bunch of pompous wannabe hackers, I'll just go to slashdot thank you very much...
