What is your guess for when Mahalo will showcase a database for their questions archive?

Ok, the idea here is, that you try to guess before a Mahalo employee intervenes, or if there is no certain answer, I'll pick the answer closest to my guess as best answer. If the answer is rotten, I'll pick no best answer.
Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

My guess is within six months. Here I got a puzzle. Everybody will be giving a guess unless some developer answers the question. So how are you going to select the best answer :). Any suggestion would be helpful for me.

Yeah, but i don't know what Calacanis talking about-hahaha. There's no search engine for finding questions here. If I want to try to find a question, I have to go "elsewhere" if you know what If mean. Anyways, Mahalo has more than less, a basic search engine, not a question archive. What am I missing here Karj?

Thanks. I have attached a print screen of the Mahalo web page of how it appears in my computer.Most likely, It appears differently in different version or type of operating system like Windows or Linux. If you like more clarification, feel free to comment or ask me a private question.
Hope it helps :)

Edit: I change my answer to already present. For perfection I will give the above answer 'within six months'

It's definitely coming in 2009. My guess it will be shown before the end of the year sometime.

What do you mean by "showcase a database for their questions archive?"

We already have a search box at the top right that allows you to search the database.

all the best,

Jason

I searched for the questions that has been already been asked, for example 'why is the sky blue' -- the result should be eight, but there is only five. But for many question I find the answer. Just wanted to ask ' do you scroll down to answers' in the scroll down bar that is present in between search field and search button.

Hi @pensivefox,
There was a brief search bug wherein the questions from twitter were not being added (which I just fixed), but if the questions you are referring to are outside of that domain could you please expand upon the 'several past questions in your Mahalo database' which did not get returned?

I haven't found the search very effective, even for finding things that I've seen before and want to find again. Like some of my own past answers! :)

I would try the search again... I know we had some problems with the database recently.

I mean, find a question that has already been asked, even if you have to type in the exact words of the question. I 've tried searching for several past questions in your Mahalo database, and no questions came up.

I think it is good idea that will allow the members returned to their questions at any time

Well, yeah. Then, anyone can find an answer to a question they want to know, if it already exists. Actually, what I feel would be awesome, would be to charge a small amount based on the average tip rate, depending how close a preexisting question is to a searched question, and charge by the keyword match-up accuracy % X median tip amount.

@pensivefox I interpreted it a little differently. Anyway my answer remains the same :)
