   @p @lanodan a bunch of them are highly specifics and very weird. Can't make head or tails of it. Anyone actually committing any sort of the very specific crimes listed probably wouldn't use these very specific words with hyphen -
   
   At best it seems like it's trying to get a bunch of unhappy people instead

     Most search boxes (Pleroma's included) do what is called "stemming", so the words get much less specific, and usually normalizing the query removes the hyphen. You can play with it if you have Postgres laying around somewhere:
     
     =# select plainto_tsquery('pg_catalog.english', 'asset-stripping backstabbing cyberstalking cyber-fraud');
     'asset-strip' & 'asset' & 'strip' & 'backstab' & 'cyberstalk' & 'cyber-fraud' & 'cyber' & 'fraud'
     
     The infamous case of over-enthusiastic stemming in Postgres is "marketing":
     
     # select plainto_tsquery('pg_catalog.english', 'marketing');
     'market'
     
     Of course, "I'm going to the market" should probably not show up as a result if you type "marketing" in the search box.

     This is possible.

     @p @coolboymew Interesting that Postgres does this, I guess it's a part of how search still works for normies who tend to write whole human-style questions at search engines instead of something closer to someone using grep via short keywords.

     @p @coolboymew Which of course means keywords-style searching getting worse in the process because you can't have both worlds in a single entry.

     @lanodan @coolboymew grep is much easier to use but perhaps harder to index.

     @lanodan @coolboymew @p A lot of the archive sites are either cloudflared (with no way to complete the captchas I’ve ever found), or constantly changing URLs. I really see no value to be had in going through the trouble for a site that bans Tor for stupid reasons anyway.

     @anonymous @p @coolboymew Just use archive.org as a proxy then?
     It's what I do here for some cloudflare'd sites.

     @lanodan @coolboymew @p Ah. They used to cloudflare which is why I wrote them off. I’ll look further into it later. Getting late.

     @anonymous @p @coolboymew archive.org is the only good one, archive.it is cloudflare'd bullshit itself.

     Cloudflare'd bullshit that *uses* Tor to scrape your site, but will not allow you to use Tor to view theirs.

     Archive.org prunes a lot of stuff it doesn’t like politically. Taylor Lorenz had a family member there scrub stuff for her for example.

     @thendrix @anonymous @p @coolboymew That's not really politics, you can get your stuff removed from sites, there's laws about this in basically every jurisdiction on earth.
