Sorry to tell you, but I studied Google architecture in sufficient detail to say what I am saying. Read Standford paper on Google architecture. > For example, search 'pyparsing'. First 3 hits are You need to understand that the main principle of Google search engine is backlinks. That will automatically put the sites with the largest number of links pointing to them to the top of the SERPS. What does it mean, you need to think about it. But I know what it means exactly. One of the side effects is: you get the smappiest stuff in top positions on SERPS and closer to the top, the more google spamy ads you are going to see. That is just the way their "economics" work. But I am not interested in arguing about how good or bad Google is. It is what it is, and if you find it does what you need, there is no point of arguing about it one way or the other. >http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/ >http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/examples >http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyparsing/ >etc. > >Just what one would want to get info about and possibly download >PyParsing.

Well, when you review a chapter index, you are basically into learning all sorts of things that you may not be able to find easily in all sorts of places. It is not meant to replace the search. All it says is if you are looking at code example chapters, you are guaranteed to see the code examples on the topic of that chapter with > 90% of a chance. Such a thing is not possible with search engine in principle. And that is ALL that is guarantted. To be on topic of the chapter with very high degree of precision and appropriateness.

Yep. Especially if you have time to deal with these kinds of issues while there is quite a list of priority items you have to deal with.

Better, I think, to use a search engine such as Google with more specific search terms and a snippet of context for each result. Well, I can not tell you what is better for you.

There isn't a single ad on any of these sites beyond those nasty popups displayed by 3rd party counter vendor. Sorry, but this is the way it is right now. The simpliest thing is just to close the popup window without even looking at it because it is pretty much guaranteed to be totally off the wall add no one would be interested in seeing anyway. >regards > Steve -- Programmer's Goldmine collections: http://preciseinfo.org Tens of thousands of code examples and expert discussions on C++, MFC, VC, ATL, STL, templates, Java, Python, Javascript, PHP, organized by major topics of language, tools, methods, techniques. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
