May 21, 2013 at 20:22 comment added Siddhant Yeah that's a problem I noticed as well. The thing is that right now I send the query as is to the Stack Overflow servers. If I replace the spaces with OR or %20, in most cases I don't get anything back. I was looking through the API docs again but couldn't find something that'll enable substring matches either. If I don't find anything, then I can look into doing something with the database dumps they provide, although that's a last resort! But thanks for the feedback! I'll look through these issues in the next couple of days. :)
May 21, 2013 at 13:55 comment added scunliffe Looks good! I'm not sure how the search is supposed to work but I find if I type 2 or more words I often get zero results. I take it that it is doing an AND condition thus if I type too many unrelated words (e.g. natural search) I won't get any matches. oh, and it is exact word matches.. so "xmlht" won't match on "XMLHTTPRequest" until I type the whole word. ;-)
