Thx for the support! Here's some background: full punctuation should be indexed; it's using the SO CC dumps (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/); only "good" Q&As are showing; additional logic to only show when relevant to search term.
I'm really against false positives, so I know there are a lot of false negatives out there as a result. If there are particular examples (where you think something should have come up but doesn't, or visa-versa), please let me know and I'll work on it. I'd welcome other improvement ideas as well.
Note that there is a lag because I'm using the dumps, so anything within the past month or so won't be there.
Update: the python pad string example isn't working because of the indexing of punctuation (python: in question title). Will re-work this for next release.
I agree, one of the things chrome has made me accustomed to is the ability to resize mutliline text boxes. I realize the zero click box is not a multiline text box, but unconscionably I find myself trying to drag the corner to make it larger.
Outstanding, this is a major boost for folks in haskell, scala, F# ! I'll have to bust out RealWorld, staircase (3 pages in index devoted to punctuation!), tapir , Chris Smith's F# books this weekend, see how well this works
By the way... In IE8, the middle mouse click to open results in a new tab is broken. If the popup blocker is turned on it will simply open the page in the same window. If the popup blocker is turned off, it opens the results in a brand new window rather than a tab.
This is only tangentially related to the post (congrats on the cool new feature!), but my biggest gripe with DGG is that for some reason it never seems find projects hosted on github.
That's weird because I source github (http://duckduckgo.com/?q=Merb+messenger&v=), though it's true there is a lag. I'll look into why that's not getting picked up; must be a bug in there somewhere. If only every site had dumps :).
Impressed. I was going to make a comment about how this could break some searches outside of the development field but when I typed in just "django" it gives me all the options of what "django" COULD mean, allows me to select the one I want, and then searches on that.
