Is it just me, or is the search function on this forum horribly broken?
I was trying to find the post that mentioned the Batman function, for
instance-- I eventually found it by searching through the forums
manually-- but doing a search for "Batman*" turned up absolutely
nothing.
Same goes for "calculatethenumbers*".
Does this forum not search in the subject line of postings? Or otherwise... WTF is going on?

It's horribly broken. I'm working on upgrading to the new version ... (this is a crappily old beta).
Use google: " batman site:thedailywtf.com"
That's what I do, heh.

D'oh! Now I'm wondering why I didn't already think of that. [:)]

Well, I'm no @antiquarian, but I think that @apapadimoulis is right no money, there.
Hey, look. It was 11 years ago and he has forseen Discourse's broken search as well as NodeBB's.
@apapadimoulis, owner as well as admin -- for the next 10 years!

Jeff wasn't talking about the next 10 years after Discourse started. He was talking about the next 10 years after TDWTF started.

@ben_lubar well, sure. But I'm interested in Alex's motivation here, because he's clearly determined to make sure his forums always have broken search.
Is he afraid we might find something? Is he a digital killer? Affiliated with Google? Both?

I think I'm glad we have the old CS threads here to necro, but you seem to asking my opinion about the search function. You are aware that you're asking someone who views emacs as a perfectly viable EDI (depending on the programming language), right? That said, it seems to work well enough. I was able to find an old war pretty quickly.
