Take another example:
http://www.ultranerds.com/...25&query=custome Now that incomplete word
custome (which i presume should not be existing as a whole word by itself) should not have returned the same result as search for
customer when "Find Exact Words" is selected (search done from Advanced Search Interface on UltraNerds.com)
Additionally, for Boolean type of search (AltaVista Style presumed as read it somewhere on this forum that LSQL Boolean search is styled around Altavista...
Case A (LSQL On UltraNerds.com)
I search for
+customer -customer I get
Your search returned
12 categories and
0 Links.
Case B (LSQL On UltraNerds.com)
I search for
-customer +customer I get
Your search returned
2 categories and
2 Links
Theoretically, If LSQL Boolean Search Should Have Resulted In Identical Search Results.... As Altavista Does as highlighted below:
Then i do a search on Altavista.com
Case A
+custom -custom Barring Sponsored Listing, Altavista returns this response
We found 0 results. Suggestions:
- Check your spelling.
- Try different or fewer keywords.
- Remove quotation marks or plus signs.
- Try changing the radio button to do a Worldwide search instead of a country search.
Case B
-custom +custom Barring Sponsored Listing, AltaVista returns this response
We found 0 results. Suggestions:
- Check your spelling.
- Try different or fewer keywords.
- Remove quotation marks or plus signs.
- Try changing the radio button to do a Worldwide search instead of a country search.
So for same boolean search (no matter where you place the include or exclude word), AltaVista returns the same result (consistent) ... LSQL gives absurd results as far as i can understand from the search performed on Andy's site UltraNerds.com
