Oh you mean all the text parsing job sites that just do

    if "remote" in post.text:
        post.remote = True
I think they should do a better job with it and not force people to write in a certain way.

Honestly, I just use Ctrl+F and it throws me off too.
Thanks for sharing vague thoughts about work other people should do. Without some discipline or structure in the listings, there's no easy way to determine if the post is saying the R-word is allowed or that it's not; there are a a huge number of variations in how the idea is expressed.
But there are many fun complicated ways =)
They should do a better job with their if statements, if anything.
I see what you did there.
