Comment Why didn't he use 'like' ? (Score 1) 208
From TFA:
"The result of the import process was also not exactly what I wanted: I could search for an article, if I knew it's exact name; but I couldn't use parts of the name to search; it was all or nothing. To allow these "free-style" searches to work, one must create the search index - which I'm told, takes days to build. DAYS!"
This seems kind of stupid to me...could he not have done an SQL query using the moral equivalent of 'select articlettext where title like '%thingiaminterestedin%' - thus meaning you don't need to know the exact title.
