    On this thread Which 2 politicians (Irish or otherwise) would you like to see debate?, Boardtracker claims the following as related threads, none of which are in any way related.
    • Spoof pages on bebo 11:59 21-Sep-06
    • Would you give out to an old person. 13:58 1-Nov-06
    • Irish ISP IP Address ranges? 17:03 1-Nov-06
    • You a Turin Brakes fan? Crowded House? See a pattern? 13:24 1-Nov-06
    • which cd changer 01:58 2-Nov-06
    • To stay in ireland or seek bigger and better in the UK 21:46 1-Nov-06

    I've also noticed it picking out ordinary words like "which", "would", "stay" and "better" (suggestions off the top of my head, not actual examples).

    Not in my opinion but it's nice as a quasi-random link generator for finding some threads I haven't read yet.

    It is now focusing on the word "work" from my thread title.

    Tis a placebo to make ppl think there *is* something resembling a useful searching function imo.
    The entire BoardTracker thing, is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    Well, we might be able to bring back normal boards search - fingers crossed on that one.

    However, the boardstracker suggestion links at the bottom aren't awful, and they are doing really good stuff - I think we'll be happy to keep those.
