I've seen just a few postings expressing dissatisfaction with 'Subject Search'. I don't know if you realize how major a degradation it is. Let me give an example.
I saw a NY Times article on the net last night which reported that a federal court had significantly tightened the requirement to win a class-action securities fraud suit against a corporation. I thought a reference link to that article would be an important contribution to any SI thread that deals with class-action stock fraud suits.
So I came to Beta SI and did a KEYWORD Search for "lawsuit". What is the search result? "Sorry, security 'lawsuit' not found."
Of course, the security 'lawsuit' is not found, but what about the keyword 'lawsuit'?
Then I went to Classic SI and keyword-searched 'lawsuit'. The results?

Quite a difference, isn't there? A severe degradation in the Beta Site!
This difference isn't merely a matter of design taste. It's a matter of essential quality of SI. It deserves immediate and urgent attention! |
