One thing that is driving me absolutely crazy lately is the problem of fuzzy searches. I wish that I could turn off this capability in the web search providers that I use.
The thing that is irritating me is that I can compose a very specific search query, and I then get buried in remotely related results that often obscure the specific results that I am seeking. This happens most often when I enter an error message enclosed in quotes. What returns are a lot of pages that are missing some of the words, and other pages where the words are in a different order. You may also get pages with variations in spelling.
Try as I might, I cannot get the search provider to return an exact match or nothing.
Grrrr...

I have the other problem - I'm so used to Google et al doing fuzzy searches that it drives me round the twist when a search fails because I misspelled a name by one character - an 'e' for an 'i' for example...

It's a damned plague. The closest one I've found to "Do What I Said" is duck duck go. But even they are starting to creep into fuzzy land.

What also drives me crazy(er) is when I do a very specific search and it comes back with "Did you mean xxx", why no I didn't I put quotes around it, underlined it, pub a ribbon around it that's what I freakin want.

We need a "Put fuzzy stuff last" checkbox.

Who do I have to beat up in order to have this implemented?

Is anyone here using BPEL[^]? Finishing up an OU course and have to create a BPEL process as part of the EMA (end of module assessment).
I've been in this business for a year or two and I've never seen BPEL used in any of the corps or businesses I've been at.
Is it good/bad or something else?

I had never heard of it. A quick reading of that wiki page and of this (warning: pdf)[^] suggests that it most likely is a complete and utter abomination.
Not touching that stuff with a 100-foot pole.

That's what I thought: as soon as I have completed the paper, anything to do with BPEL will be cleansed from my pc!

The moment I saw that it was created in a university, I knew what to expect, and closed the file immediately.

From my point of view Oracle BPEL[^] is actually quite widely adopted what comes to integration tasks in Oracle environments. Personally haven't been using it in production but I know a bunch of companies that do run and rely on it.

Hey, don't knock COBOL. It was absolutely fantastic at what it was designed for, and an order of magnitude faster at handling the data it was designed to handle than some languages *coughjava!* used for the same data today.

It's been a while since I posted this since they jumped companies or something a few years back.
XML Schema Library[^]
Also found this[^] for a couple of specific schemas.

Seeing "XML" and "standards" in the same sentence always makes I larf.

True. This is more like XML schemas from proprietary software.

I saw this quite a few years back, not really new news.

Due to some poor time management on my part, I booked about 3 hours of sleep overnight. And that after several days with 5 hours of sleep. But Thank God It's Friday and the weekend is a few dull hours away.
It's funny, my calendar seems to have a cute little bug where it claims it is Thursday...Wait a second...Nooooooooooooooo!
