and now trying podcast

@geniodiabolico No, I don't think stemming is a good idea on this medium.
-
@dustin You don't have to stem per se, but matching the substrings would be helpful. Can you track on RegExes or with * operators or such?
-
@geniodiabolico substrings would a bad default. I track spy, don't want to hear about crispy chicken.
-
@geniodiabolico the problem with regex, etc... is that it becomes very difficult to index, so performance approaches O(n) (tracks)
-
@dustin So if I want to track podcast, podcasts, podcasting, podcaster podcasters, I need 5 individual tracks?
-
@geniodiabolico Gotcha (re: what/if usage) I like, but in same boat...where do I focus?
-
@geniodiabolico Yeah. I suppose I could implement OR to make it a little easier, but thats how I'm doing it.
-
@geniodiabolico Of course, I could use wordnet or something to compute podcast* at index time for that case.
-
@dustin if the idea is to do any tracking beyond the really trivial, something should happen. Otherwise managing these is a part-time job.
-
@dustin Lest it sound like I'm all about the bitching, having a track functionality back is bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you.
-
@geniodiabolico Heh. There's more to do with expression of tracks for sure, but that's not the most annoying part to me yet.
