Day: July 19, 2010

  • Here is something curious:  In Dec. 2005, Xanga Search displayed 1.2 million hits for the word  "fuck" (as recorded on fuck.xanga.com) .  Today, it displays only 375,000 hits for "fuck".  So either Xangans have quit fucking around and deleted many of their old fuck posts, or the current search is less than exhaustive, or the old search was triple or more extra counting.  I don't think that post-2005 post-deletes and site-shutdowns could account for the 825,000 instances of these missing fucks.  And that would not be even counting all the fucks blog-uttered since then - now 5 years later.  So either the current search is less than exhaustive or the old search was hyper-repetitive.  Perhaps the current search is only indexing a subset of some determination of "active membership".  I shall test this hypothesis and present the results!

    *goes away and digs forensically into Xanga*

    *returns*

    I've tested and here are the results:

    Xanga site search is all fucked up.  I have found that not all sites are indexed.  Both some early 2000 sites and some other sites publishing at late as 2007 are not indexed, perhaps others even later than that.  For instance, the word "Jelaluddin" (as in Jelaluddin Rumi) is mentioned on God's site (god.xanga.com) on 8-25-2007.  So is "Jung" (as in C.G. Jung)  But does Xanga Search find it?  Fuck no.  Xanga is totally dissing God, Rumi and Jung by keeping them unexhaustively searchless.  I mean, wtf?!
