I didn't realize you were the author of KinoSearch, which you are also suggesting as a platform.

And I, in turn, was unaware that dmitri was my sock puppet. ;)

intelligent analysis of huge amounts of generic data can beat analysis of specialized data.

Sure, those techniques are powerful... The brute force "did you mean" stratagem[1] is tough to top, no question!

As for whether we'll be able to deliver an overall improvement on the PerlMonks search experience, I guess we'll just have to present something, and people can vote with their clicks.

[1] Major search engines decide what to suggest based on search history: what most people have typed in after misspelling something. This has proven superior to algorithms based on edit distance.
