I was wondering if it was ever ok not to have a submit button (Ok, Go or Search for example) near a search box in Web pages.

For example, the search box...

Anyone know how one might adapt a search tree to handle limited regular expressions? The task is, given a file name, find all nodes matching that file name. Nodes may contain usual file name globs (* and ?). Obviously, since this is a search tree, speed is of the essence. EDIT: I should add that the most important case for speed is the ...
Hello, everybody. I am working on a university timetable scheduler project. Mainly, I am using taboo search, but I want to ask: In general search, you can explore all neighbors of the current state and then take the best state - according to a fitness or evaluation function, - but in such a project, generating all neighbors will make p...
We have a Perl-based web application whose data originates from a vast repository of flat text files. Those flat files are placed into a directory on our system, we extensively parse them inserting bits of information into a MySQL database, and subsequently move those files to their archived repository and permanent home (/www/website/a...
Let's say you have some set of numbers with a known lower bound and unknown upper bound, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 78 where 78 is the unknown. Assume for the moment there are no gaps in between numbers. There is a time-expensive function test() that tests if a number is in the set. What is an efficient way (requiring a low amount of test() c...
