Looking for a thread to which I had contributed, I sorted my nodes, highest rep first. Then I noticed the URL:
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=6364&user=436161&length=50&orderby=hr&start=0&showtype=&sexisgood=Search
Notice that last parameter: "sexisgood". Now, I'll accept that PerlMonks is like sex - when it's good, it's incredibly good, but when it's bad, it's still pretty damned good. But I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would use that parameter name. Was it copied from some other site? Is this some standard of which I'm unaware? Does someone have an intimate problem? I can't think of a logical explanation. Super search returns several nodes that don't contain that string. So I'm baffled. I'm also like Dirty Harry's bank robber: "Hey, man, I gots to know". Please could someone tell me more, even as an anonymonk if that would save embarrassment.
Regards,
John
Update 2023-09-30: I see that the parameter is now "perlisgood".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
