I agree that it's imperfect. But I don't think FF is any better - they don't even get to the level of being able to provide that.

I mean, I get you apparently have an irreconcilable philosophical objection to false positives in searching, but I'm really hard pressed to see how the FF search system is a particularly good model either.

It provides far fewer of them. Mainly because its system of tagging and crossover segregation provides less opportunities for authors who seek to subvert anti-false positive measures to abuse the system. AO3 is just a huge swamp of tag abuse and inability to filter on the first level of search. Its search system prioritizes volume of responses over accuracy of responses.

It provides fewer false positives, but it is also far worse at finding true positives. Is the argument that I'm trying to make here.

[(Anonymous)]

WTH do you search for? I've never had a problem searching AO3 and finding what I'm looking for. I've seen a few false positives, but not so many that I think the system is horribly flawed.

It would be incredibly difficult to implement a set tag system on a site that includes so many different fandoms and types of creators. AO3 has a team to clean up the tags, but I also imagine this is difficult to stay current with.

[(Anonymous)]

Well I'm not the one who has an insurmountable objection to false positives, here. But there are problems with tag-monster fics, and with things like ships being tagged that are barely present in a story. And I imagine it looks a lot worse if you're mostly searching in very popular fandoms / pairings.

FF: What search system. They have a few indexes and that's it.
