Literally no one wants to do that. That's why it's someone's job to do this.

This is just like how grocery stores have made us all become cashiers.

I'm not doing that, it's work, and I'm not going to do work.

Oh interesting. The rotating loop triggers my aphantasia which is why I stick to Firefox and it's pleasing horizontal bar. /S

Fyi you can customize the loading SVG in Firefox. Isn't it nice to use software that respects you?

Drinking causes severe societal ills and is unhealthy in any amount. Everyone should indeed stop drinking. We should tax alcohol until it is unaffordable for the vast majority.

I mean, it's not really like he started from scratch. He had to redevelop muscle memory, sure, but much of guitar playing is knowing what will sound good and that doesn't go away even if you lose the whole arm...

I believe there is built in stemming in this search.

I searched the key word "commit" and some results were returned with the word "committed"

My guess is this guy just set up a simple DB query on the search form and left it at that.

That's what I've done in the past for simple text search.

I know that at least mongodb comes with built in full text search and stemming.

What he really should do is set up elastic search but that's a big pita to learn all that
