Bery, have I suggested this before? A checkbox on the search page for "only posts with 5 or more replies"

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka dr.vermin) Jul 20 '12, 13:38

So that after I finally go see Batman, I can do a search for "spoilers" and get a tight result set of the threads where the discussions are.

Responses:

That seems like a uniquely specific feature. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 13:58 1
- [shrug] looking for posts v. looking for threads -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 14:06
eh ... the number of replies is calculated dynamically, so the subqueries for that would cripple the database -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:39 12
- Can't you set it up as an outer query? - GregW Jul 20, 13:43 5
  - go back to your DB2 world - zork Jul 20, 13:48 3
    - Gladly. My company just bought another company that has a MySQL database. Fortunately, my work is just converting it. -- nm - GregW Jul 20, 13:53 2
      - we use MS here -- nm - zork Jul 20, 13:56 1
        
        although most of my work is non-db but crunching fixed column or card format flat ascii files. -- nm - zork Jul 20, 14:01
  - replies are recursive. MySQL is not ... friendly ... to recursion or nested sets. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:45
- FIX IT! -- nm - Max Jul 20, 13:40 5
  - Max! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:40 4
    - Speaking of, did you change something today? Links are opening in the same tab rather than a new one. - spamlet Jul 20, 14:03 3
      - didnt you just answer your own question? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 20, 14:09
      - Possibly the IM -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 14:04 1
        
        Okay. Who knows. Probably some magic keypress. Thanks. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:13
