Everyone is familiar with this functionality. If you open up the the outlook address book and start typing a name, the list below the searchbox instantly filters to only contain items that match your query. .NET Reflector has a similar feature when you're browsing types ... you start typing, and regardless of how large the underlying a...
I have a set of String values in Javascript, and I need to write a function that detects if another specific String value belongs to this set or not. What is the fastest way to achieve this? Is it all right to put the set of values into an array, and then write a function that searches through the array? I think if I keep the values sort...
Search the web for the phrase "I cosay". I run across this phrase being used from time to time by individuals in tech forums, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it means or how it makes sense in the context of the conversations where it is used. Am I just way behind the times? New slang? ...
I am new to culling. On a first glance, it seems that most occlusion culling algorithms are object-level, not examining single meshes, which would be practical for game rendering. What I am looking for is an algorithm that culls all meshes within a single object that are occluded for a given viewpoint, with high accuracy. It needs to be...
I have to change some connection strings in an incredibly old legacy application, and the programmers who made it thought it would be a great idea to plaster the entire app with connection strings all over the place. VS "current project" search is INCREDIBLY slow, and I don't trust Windows Search. So what's the best free, non-indexed t...

(I do not have an Eclipse project set up for it) I used to be able to do it easily in the windows search tool when I had Windows 2000. Edit: I have already enabled "search file contents" and added additional file types as recommended by xsl and Grant Wagne...

(i.e. 123456*) and have it return all those products that match. What is the best way to do this? I have in the past used something like below: *SELECT @product_code = REPLACE(@product_code, '*', '...

I have been noticing some very strange usage of O(1) in discussion of algorithms involving hashing and types of search, often in the context of using a dictionary type provided by the language system, or using dictionary or hash-array types used using array-index notation. Basically, O(1) means bounded by a constant time and (typically)...
Either in .net or java. ...
I'm trying to write a query for an advanced search page on my document archiving system. I'm attempting to search by multiple optional parameters. I have about 5 parameters that could be empty strings or search strings. I know I shouldn't have to check for each as a string or empty and create a separate stored procedure for each combi...

The text has no tokens, so I don't know where a person name starts in the text. And I don't if know if the name will appear or not in the text. Example:...

They use this on Stackoverflow e.g. for the "Related" list on the right-hand side of each question page. Since creating one of these t...
Hi, I'm very new to the MOSS 2007 search and just started playing around with the configuration. At the moment the index contains nearly everything a site has to offer. After testing the search on my publishing portal I realized that many of the search results are not very useful for the users. E.g. the search results include entries ...
