IMO -
I think your question may be ill-posed.
Here's why by example-
We have people here who have worked for a long time with, say, Oracle programming.
We get questions everywhere in almost all forums about it. 80% of the time the question never includes the word oracle. So to do a better find on that topic would require searching on other words like:
sql, tablespace, sqlplus, indexed row, Pro*C (spelled many ways) and so on.
However most of these terms are not limited to oracle. So. This is not a simple problem to solve. Suppose I am an Oracle guru, how do I find all of the posts that involve Oracle? I honestly don't know. I am going to get Postgres or MS sql or Sybase questions, too, for most generalized queries.
Plus, most programmers having worked with unix for 4-5 years are likely to have good general knowledge in Unix tools, with really in-depth knowledge about something like awk, vi, or shell scripting. So, expertise is spread like a shotgun pattern for any one poster: a lot of full misses, partial hits, and a few bullseyes.
As people learn how to ask questions they get better search results. The majority of first time posters are new to Unix. So, their questions are fuzzy sometimes. To say the least.
