This behavior is the reason why I think certain single-word titles are poor choices; there's nothing wrong with one-word titles per se.

I agree with the first and the last part of the above statement - I disagree with the conclusion in the middle. It's the behavior that causes the problem - the one-word title is merely the trigger. So, fix the behavior. Searching with a single keyword is common. So, if it's a problem that a search with a single keyword jumps directly to a page instead of showing a list of alternatives - don't jump. Show the list!

This reminds me about the story of the man who went to the doctor saying his eye hurts when drinking tea. And instead of suggesting to take out the spoon, the doctor tells the patient to stop taking sugar in his tea.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
