Once I saw a client typing part of her domain in the browser's search to then click on the first Google result: her site. What? Wait: use the address bar, you know the domain. My way is 'faster' she said. Not really I said: your way is type, wait, click. The fast, and correct, way is to type just a few letters on the address bar and if your browser is remembering: enter. The solution? Make the address bar and search bar one and be smart enough to know if the user is searching or just calling a usual site.

So, if I have a question about xyz, type a few kwds and google-it, top 3-5 results are SO, then something else, then the 'official' docs. What? Wait: aren't the docs the most relevant trust-worthy correct answer? Docs always suck and SO is faster. Then hire SO wizards to write the docs and pay them dollars not karma ;)

What? Wait: aren't I way off topic? Did I piss you off? Did you get enough hugs as a child? Enough beer last night?

Happy weekend you wizards :)

PS: Pardon my typos and grammar. English not my mother tounge. Yes, there are programmers past the border ;)
