Both here and in The Lounge (haven't tried elsewhere) if I hover over any part of a post subject line I get a ToolTip of "None".
Of course there is always the possibility that this is intentional, in which case please ignore this message.

I also get 'NONE' when I hover over your name, but no explanation of what you have none off. A bit dangerous to leave open to interpretation if you ask me.

Strange, i hover over your name and get 'Trouble Maker'.......

When I hover over the Toga wearing Bob next to your name, I see they have spelt 'Mental' wrongly.

The WPF Dental Chair article in the C# section seemed to get a spike of votes today, and this is really surprising. Can we keep an eye on this one?

Hello,
this is not a bug in the strict sense: for a better viewing the width of field "category" in the filter modus should be equal as the witdth of the filed category in the edit modus (here: ok, adjusted to respective word length).
Thx for attention,

Thanks for the feedback, but could you please narrow it down a little and let me know which page you mean?

I find it a strange coincidence that this question[^] and this one[^], posted within less than an hour of each other are (apparently) from different people.

Enxpression Encoder looks a bit advanced for school/college. Or maybe it's just beyond my understanding.

Hi,
As you probably know I have been a long-time user of the site. I consider The Code Project an invaluable tool and a great collection of sample projects. I really appreciate your dedication to making the site one of the best places on the web for software developers.
I also believe that there is always room for improvement. The search feature here on The Code Project is horrible and could certainly be improved.
My experience today:
I have several open-source/freeware applications that I release under a pseudonym. This weekend I am working on one of those personal projects. I have the need for an 'Options Dialog' and wanted to get some ideas on how other developers implement the GUI layout. I enjoy creating unique and visually appealing interfaces and I find that looking at the layout of other GUI gets my creative juices flowing.
You would think that searching for 'Options Dialog C++' would give me a few decent results. Instead this is what I find:
The Code Project: 'Options Dialog C++'[^]
This was a WTF moment for me... no matter what selection I choose in the combo boxes I cannot force the search algorithm to return anything meaningful. Why does XBrowseForFolder return as the number-one relevant document? The word 'Option' or 'Option' is not present in the document... although there are 36 instances of 'Dialog'.
Lets see how well google does:
Google: +"Options Dialog" site:codeproject.com[^]
However at this point I am thinking that I have obviously made a mistake and should have used quotes in The Code Project search engine.
+"Options Dialog" C++[^]
XTimer and Tray Calendar are the first two results. I cannot even imagine what type of search algorithm would return this type of result. Whatever algorithm is being used appears to apply a weight to popular articles.
Some other search criteria I have tried:
Options C++[^]
There are hundreds of articles with the word 'Options' in the title on the site but zero results. It was at this point that I realized that the search engine is completely broken or perhaps unfinished and currently being developed.
The reputation system and the new 'Questions and Answers' section are great features. However I believe one of the most important and most powerful aspects of the website is being ignored. The ability to search and find information.
Thanks for listening,
-David Delaune

Unfortunately, the terms you are querying are very common. Even google returns thousands of results for your query
Fortunately, we are using Lucene.NET to index and search our content. There is a way of specifying that you want to see terms near each other. the query
"Options Dialog"~3 C++
will look for documents with Options and Dialog within 3 words of each other and also containg the term "C++".
With only Articles selected, this returns 171 results (at the moment). Including Blogs, Tips, and Questions only adds 8 more.

It would be useful if, next to each search box, there were a question mark (or something like that) which, when clicked, opens a FAQ page for search functionality (e.g., your tip about how to search for nearby terms).
