Yet another suggestion to this great program:
I suggest introducing "hard" and "soft" trash words.
"Hard Trash Words" (HTW) are words you don't ever want to see. Like when you are a book collector, any reference to DVD automatically voids your interest.
"Soft Trash Words" are the trash words as they are implemented today: They filter the results list, but still can be displayed in the Temporary Work Area.
The implementation specific difference would be that HTWs would automatically be added to all "words to exclude" definitions in all searches. From the technical point of view, this would reduce the number of return results, ie. heap size etc. From the user point of view, this would remove the necessity to duplicate "exclude words" over different searches in the same sieve.
A GTW = Global Trash Word would be to always filter under any condition. There are things I would never, ever be interested in. But with GTWs, I may be just dreaming, and a HTW would already be a great help.
Best,
Ted |
