But as you can see, even after processing al the orphans (man pages without matches) for mysql full text matches (step 1) and cross referencing similarman in threads with the man pages (step 2), we see that a whopping 63% of all man pages are still similar thread orphans:
So, I'm on to step 3 now. Boolean matches between the name of the man page and the tags (update: and the thread titles) for each thread, ordered by reply count. I changed the process (from my step 3 above) to match both thread tags and thread titles, to see if this helps speed things along toward the goal of all the man pages having at least one similar thread entry.
Let's see what happens twelve hours from now after this batch processing finishes.
I may move to straight forward boolean matches in the text of the posts (against the name of the man page) for step 4, but that seems too crude, so I'll need to ponder on, and test this, later. But if I add the operating system, that might be too refined and result in a very small number of matches since we have always had quite a hard time getting people to describe their OS when they post a question!
If everyone posted system details when they asked a question, this would make matches a lot better; but they don't and rarely do.

When reading man pages, I notice that sometimes commands are follwed by a number enclosed in parenthesis. such as:
mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call.
What exactly does this mean? (4 Replies)

Can anyone supply me with the man pages for:
omnidatalist
omnibarlist
omnisap.exe
I prefer the source man pages in nroff format.
A clue about the software bundles which supply these man pages is fine as well.
