Tell me what this is and a point shall be yours.

Ray B. · May 19, 2009, 04:44:05 PM

Merged.

Thanks for rescuing me on this one Ray B. It tried to search on 23 pages of possibile matches, and didn't spot that this was its second showing!

Ray B. · May 19, 2009, 04:48:35 PM

Well... I don't know how you do it, but I just searched for "Toyota Sports" in the solved puzzles section alone, and I had only one page of results.

Djetset · May 19, 2009, 04:50:10 PM

I search on '1957 Toyota Sports' using 'match any words' and got 23 pages to wade through.

Ray B. · May 19, 2009, 04:54:13 PM

I understand better.
If you specified "any word" instead of "all words", you all all the pages with "Toyota", plus all the pages with "sports" and all the pages with "1957". And that's a lot. "The search engine understand better you must", Otto would say.

Djetset · May 19, 2009, 05:00:35 PM

Yeah, I'm still trying to fine-tune my search engine skills, as I don't seem to have quite mastered it as yet in the 5 months that I've been posted puzzles. I'll stick to the 'any word' option in future I think.

I'm still amazed at some fo the cars that you don't find by searching though, as I often think 'surely someone else must have already posted this one by now! My #157 posted just now is a good case in point.

In my opinion, bad idea. Read again my last post.
With the "match all words" option, you must be careful not to be too precise, on the opposite. If you type "Toyota Sports 1957" and the topic is only named "Toyota sports", your search will bring no results while the car IS somewhere to be found.

But suit yourself anyway.

Thanks, I wouldn't want to get into a pickle with this.
