I used super search and googled thepen. The problem with such a search is the keywords: I used "test" and not "check," and "presence" or "exists" and not "installed".

... which is why I said "*If* you haven't already" tried supersearch ... just like you, I noticed the keyword disparity and I did not automatically assume you had overlooked supersearch.

As far as your observations on SOPW organization and English synonyms, my initial response to you was specifically intended to address those (percieved) problems.

How?

Well you see, now there is a new node that contains *all* of the different keywords in one place. It patches the 'keyword gap'. That's how humans like you and me can help make SuperSearch and Google even better.

Of course there are many other synonyms out there that remain "unconnected", but that's the name of the game ...

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.
