[lojban-beginners] Re: Jbovlaste search

["Matt Arnold" <matt.mattarn@gmail.com>]

There needs to be a vote in both directions for the words to show up
in the search. The search page doesn't say this; John Q. Public
Searcher doesn't know this; so he tries a search and it doesn't return
a result.

Naturally he interprets this to mean that search is claiming it isn't
in there. He hunts it up alphabetically in the listing, and says "hey,
it was here all along, but search made the claim that it wasn't.
Search must be broken."

And it is broken, by a meaningful definition of broken.
