Hacker News in a nutshell.

the irony in this comment is delicious :-)
It's sillier if you imagine the query in SQL. How can the database fulfill both "all queries have at least one row" and also "your WHERE clauses are interpreted exactly?"

I'm saying I don't like high cutoffs of similarity scores. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Very very few queries should have _literally zero results_. Surely you have at least a few words in common with something

I don't understand what you mean.

I'm saying if you have a query that returns a similarity score, I don't want only results with > 0.1. I want all the results returned
