I've been doing a little research of search/indexing tools, so as a test I updated the search to use Lucene.

So far I'd have to say me gusta mucho.

When did I start using the term nifty. nifty? Do I have some weird affinity towards Wally Cleaver, or maybe a strange fetish?

I did a search of this site to see how many instances of the phrase nifty I could find, but the google API is done busted, and after a bit of research it appears that the spelling suggestion portion of the API fails when looking up certain words, 'nifty' being one of those words. Is google trying to protect me from myself? Possibly.

This could possibly be my favorite search string ? for bitter pill ever:
