| Jan 19, 2017 at 14:01 | comment | added | Wei Zhong | @NeilStrickland For your fourth point, you can get results by removing the a pair of bracket: approach0.xyz/search/… | |
| Jan 11, 2017 at 13:28 | comment | added | Wei Zhong | @NeilStrickland I do not have enough reputation to comment under your answer, but like you have assumed in that answer, perhaps there is no relevant document there. So the best way to indicate there may be something wrong is to identify a post (ensure it is not too new, if so it may not be indexed yet) on MSE and you are unable to search it via Approach0. In this case, please report to me. | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 16:06 | comment | added | Wei Zhong | @NeilStrickland Thank you so much for your feedback, after I made a little tuning on my ranking formula, now it looks much better if you search for $\Omega S^3$. For more detail see my explanation in chat room. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 1:50 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @NeilStrickland I will mention that it is possible to link to a search - like here. This makes it easier for others if they want to try the same search - all they have to do is to click on the link. (But I guess that after including all four links, not much space would be left for the rest of the comment due to character limit.) | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 0:12 | comment | added | Neil Strickland | I tried a few searches: $\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2}dx$ was good, $\mathbb{R}P^\infty$ was not bad, $M\otimes N$ gave lots of hits for $MN$ or $m\times n$ which is not so useful, $\Omega S^3$ gave results which made no sense to me at all. Still, the basic framework looks very promising, and I am sure that the algorithm can be tweaked. | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 8:43 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @ToddTrimble I would say that a good way to get at least some basic insight into what the capabilities of this search engine are and for what type of searches it is useful, you might tried some queries tested before by other users. You can find such queries for example in comments on math.SE (and to a lesser extent on MO) or in this chatroom. | |
| Jan 8, 2017 at 7:55 | comment | added | Wei Zhong | @ToddTrimble Martin is right. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 21:04 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @ToddTrimble I suppose Wei Zhong will give you more details but very short answer is no, it is not search for exact string. You might find a bit of explanation in chat, for example here and perhaps also here. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 19:05 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | A naive question: for latex expressions, does it search for the exact character string? I am in the habit of inserting blank spaces in expressions for various reasons, one being readability. But many users don't. | |
