I think the search system should get redesigned to support kinda google syntax.
The NOT, ..., syntax is complicated and its very much to write.
It would be much easier to use a syntax like this: "grid control -MFC" instead of "grid control NOT MFC".
And I think there should be more options to select single sections.. not only MFC/C++, C#, ASP.NET...
The MFC/C++ section is so big, that a combo box with the subsections would be cool.
Don't try it, just do it!

Expensive... and I think you can not select single sections with google.

Expensive? Are you buying? That's an enterprise solution so a company that rakes in 500 million a year I don't think would mind.
I don't think they are targeting hobbiest playing around with computers in their basements

to be honest I would be more happy that if I selected C++ I wouldn't get any other language articles. (or maybe I'm doing something wrong  )
No hurries, no worries.

Plus, I'd be nice to be able to search the message board..
|
|
|
|
|
Top-right of each message board, there's a "Search Comments" link.
|
|
|

Directions indicate that the word "not" can be used to omit articles containing the specified word or phrase. However, this doesn't work with the following search query:
assembly not ".net"
where many articles containing both the word assembly and ".net" appear.

Hmm - that (obviously) shouldn't happen. And for the other comments the "-" has been implemented (eg Grid -MFC). It seems there's some leakage though - I will look into this ASAP.

Yep. I tested the example given. As the only difference is the period, I would think that the search engine is getting confused somewhere with that.

I don't think this list (home page, left margin) has changed since I've become a member (1+ years ago)...
Thanks...

This is probably true but its the right margin...

It has - Dan G's ToDo list pipped my grid about a year ago.

This is how the list appears to me:
• ASP.NET Popup Control
• The Standalone Programmer: Tips from...
• Universal Table Editor
• SQL Server DO's and DONT's
• A Session Data Management Tool
This hasn't changed in a long time. I don't see the "ToDo list" (?)...

The list that is shown depends on the active tab on the front-page. If you select All Topics, you'll see the ToDo list and other articles.

Ok, I need to clarify my question:
For the ASP.NET topics, the Most Popular list has not changed in a long time...
In other words, I don't think the list truly reflects the most popular (ASP.NET) articles.
|
|
|
|

Maybe the top 5 articles haven't changed in that long? The last time the C++ list changed was when the "three ways to inject code" article appeared and got pimped by the readership up to the top 5.

Hello,
I didn't find a forum for these types of messages, but I just want to let the CP team know that there are a lot of strange errors lately besides the ad errors.
The errors occur mostly when I want to post a reply to a message or when I click on a message so that it will expand. The page just goes to the errors page and says that an unknown error occurred..
I wonder whats going on.

One of our servers (#3) started playing up. It's been pulled from the cluster.

I had a rather horrible experience with a project I was given to do in C# and a sample to go by. It was an example of such a database done via northwinds, but the sample did a horrible thing. It kept catching an error and without putting up a message or logging the error, it just rethrew the error and enclosing catches would change the type of error until the resulting error pointed at a line that had nothing at all to do with my error at all, and gave a message saying my line was at fault, when there was nothing wrong.
What did I learn?? Never, ever ever rethrow an error without informing the user/programmer or at least logging the error so the programmer aka victim, doesn't spend a day or two trying to debug code that isn't at fault. Such a section somewhere on code project separated by categories might help us all.
Been there, done that, forgot why!

In addition to Prev & Next, it would be nice to have a Previous/Next Thread link since some threads seem to take numerous pages long.
How about using |< << < > >> >| for First, Thread, Prev, Next, Thread, Last?

Have you tried Thread View? Not that it's perfect, but it's an option.
