[–] chrisbolt 16y ago ↗ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1143413It would be great if the dupe checker removed query strings. [–] gthank 16y ago ↗ As the HN link you posted demonstrates, query strings quite often determine the content. You can't strip them out without introducing reams of false positives. [–] ableal 16y ago ↗ Right, but lately there have been quite a few dupes. I've noticed a lot with "?feed=" etc.What about HN also storing the page title ? Upon submission, strip after "?" to check for dupe, in case of positive, check page titles to confirm.Or just check, upon first submission, that the query string is irrelevant (fetch pages with and without), and strip it out if it is.A bit slower, on submission, but that wouldn't be bad ;-) [–] josch 16y ago ↗ for me, the interesting thing about this article now is that it is the latest one on cutts' blog; there is no newer one which talks about mahalo.
