  • You are absolutely right.  I supplied a wrong title and misspelled the last name.  But no excuse.  I'm guilty as charged. [....]  But hey, I apologize.

    Ah, yes! Repentence.  So I'll accept that, and not be calling for a judge to administer or witness stripes.


    But still, I have to wonder why you would spend two whole hours researching the correct info.  Seems to me your might have discovered my error in about 5 or ten minutes.

    Huh?  Persistent failure of a sequence of syntactically-correct searches based on the same incorrect assumptions [×] provides no information about exactly why it's failing, or exactly what is incorrect.

    For my search, it seemed necessary to keep "ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan" as a 3-word phrase for my search, because the 2 nouns are so common, and searching for them separably would lead me farther astray.

    If in another forum, I'd posted a favorable review from memory of a book I recommended as, e.g., Wonders of the Ocean Planet, but it was really titled Wonders of the Water Planet, how productive do you think searches by trusting readers would be?   Especially considering that mass-market search-engines can't provide semantic translations, then proceed with them, e.g., "Ocean Planet" to "Water Planet" [*].

    Meanwhile, "A i kins" repeatedly snagged a prominent Carolina family and its historic home(s), despite me trying to narrow the search by requiring the word "Catholic" plus either "author" or "book".

    Lest any CathInfo readers assume otherwise, no, I was not indulging in oneupmanship toward a more-senior C.I. member.


    Hope you've read the book.

    You missed out on drawing the correct conclusion from 2 thoughts you expressed:
    •   I have not "read the book";  I've never even seen it.
    •   It was important for me to get the author & title of the subject book perfectly correct for a personal reason independent of CathInfo: I was recently overtaken by a unique situation during which I can afford to buy a limited number of the books that docuмent the implausibly long "Crisis in the Church".  Right now, I have access to practically none of the relevant reference literature.
    •   The errors now rectified, vere dignum et justum est, I ought to pass the corrected information along to readers of CathInfo.

    I suppose I can offer my 2 hours of frustration with 2 search-engines--on an excruciatingly underpowered p.c.--to ameliorate however many microseconds they'd be converted to for Purgatory.

    -------
    Note ×: E.g., silly assumptions like, um, the more-senior C.I. member certainly knows the literature better than I do, so--of course--I can trust that he provided the correct author & title.

    Note *: I believe that 'twas Jacques Cousteau who tried to popularize reference to Earth as the "Water Planet"--or maybe 'twas as the "Blue Planet".  To err is human.

  • … For my search, it seemed necessary to keep "ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan" as a 3-word phrase for my search, because the 2 nouns are so common, and searching for them separably would lead me farther astray. …

    You might consider trying another search engine, AD. As an experiment, I just typed "hugh aikins ѕуηαgσgυє satan" in the search box of the Startpage engine.* On hitting Enter, I got the admin query, "Did you mean: hugh akins ѕуηαgσgυє satan," and immediately below the query, as the very first entry, was the correct spelling of the author's name and the book's title, along with a link to the Amazon page where the book may, at least for the moment, be bought from one of two Marketplace sellers.

    I wrote "at least for the moment" just above because, as you might know, this book is one of the very large number of politically and religiously incorrect books that Amazon has marked for permanent disappearance.** As it usually does, the open market has responded to this limitation by raising the price of the book from last year's rough equivalent of a pound of bananas to the present day's pound of Beluga caviar.
    _______________________
    *You and others might be aware that Startpage is one of the few search engines that don't log every individual's searches and report them to our benevolent governmental masters. It is a less efficient engine than Bing and several others, but as often as not, one can find what he seeks using Startpage without resorting to the bigger and more powerful engines.

  • You might consider trying another search engine, AD.  As an experiment, I just typed "hugh aikins ѕуηαgσgυє satan" in the search box of the Startpage engine.[*]  On hitting Enter, I got the admin query, "Did you mean: hugh akins ѕуηαgσgυє satan,"  and immediately below the query, as the very first entry, was the correct spelling of the author's name and the book's title, along with a link to the Amazon page [....]

    Arrrrrrrrrgh!

    My default search-engine, also the one with which I wasted most of my lamented "at least 2 [expletives deleted] hours", is "Ixquick", which is not only the more evocative original name of what's now the startlingly unevocative "Startpage", but also invoked with the URL that provides its "advanced search" (its own designation):

        <https://ixquick.com/eng/advanced-search.html>

    I'd assumed that continuing my use of <Ixquick.com> for searching simply caused an automatic redirect to <Startpage.com>, faithfully transferring all the specified searching parameters, thus conducting a search effectively identical to Startpage's.  It's a conventional approach to maintaining forward compatibility.

    But honesty requires me to acknowledge that I suppressed my incredulity long enough to confirm your claim:

        <https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=hugh+aikins+ѕуηαgσgυє+satan>:

    Quote from: startpage.com _default_ search with ordinal numbers inserted

  • Arrrrrrrrrgh! (again but with more feeling!)

    I don't know what went wrong with this quote I constructed to display Startpage search results in Reply #20.  It was fine in all CathInfo Preview  displays, then was fouled in Modify.  It remained fine in my EditPad-saved (BBCode source) text.  Maybe it was 1 of those nearly microscopic mouse twitches that moves a text selection to an adjacent line so late during hasty editing that the twitch goes unnoticed, and then fouls existing text when pasted in?  Like when hastily editing to beat a ticking clock that's outside the editor's control?

    What in Hades!?  Post did it again!

    Once again, the original topic went wobbly very quickly, or was totally abandoned.  And we're only on page 2 of replies. From a topic about Trunews news, to deep sighs over 'operational interchangeability.' 
    Matthew, we pray for your wife's safe delivery.  But when you get a minute, or maybe, several hours, after your 8th is safely in his mother's arms, why don't you give some thought to correcting, or at least, trying to correct, this recurring problem on Ci?

    Yes,and such indignities have afflicted original posters in on-line discussions for decades, even before there was a formally authorized "Internet".


    Matthew, [...] when you get a minute[...] why don't you give some thought to correcting, or at least, trying to correct, this recurring problem on Ci?

    Silly person!   Now you might have unintentionally encouraged CathInfo members to post their own ideas about "correct[ions]" right here, thus taking the topic that you originated even farther off-track.

    It's in hopes of preventing the latter that I've created a fresh new topic for discussion of possible corrections, to which C.I. members henceforth ought to confine [×] their relevant ideas:
