I wanted to search for Windows 7 on SU; get a notion of what the FAQ were and so forth.

However, searching for Windows 7 yields simply Windows in the search engine.

Thanks.

This does correctly map to now, as we do a guess on the top (n) tags based on a few heuristics -- even combining words when you enter two, etc.

How curious. Searching for any single-digit number results in the search requesting that you enter some text in the search box.

The tag definitely exists, so the search will auto replace your search with that tag. What you want to search for is , which is the actual tag.

Note: Usually the response is, "Use Google." But, Google's not an Ewok yet, as evidenced by the nothingness I found.

    Yes, but I'm expecting a search for Windows 7 to be smartly guessed and replaced by the correct tag. Commented Jul 27, 2009 at 17:05
  • Also, Ewok? Google isn't a fuzzy sapient on a moon of Endor? No...really? O.o Commented Jul 27, 2009 at 17:08
  • @Paul: Yes, we've needled Jeff incessantly about the search. Also, it was a joke about the fact that SU is "letting in the Ewoks." Observe: blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/07/… Commented Jul 27, 2009 at 17:10
