Searching for "rick roll" or "spoon" redirects you. Also, apologies if this was already posted, I searched for "rick roll" to check but... Well, it got me.

Edit: My capitalization made me a liar.

It's been posted, just not in this sub. https://www.voat.co/v/AskVoat/comments/217014

Also, the search is case sensitive. At least for me they don't work when I capitalize the first letters.

Ah, you're darn right it is. == operator.

what did you think this was!? JavaScript?

0 u/CrowderSoup 10 Jul 2015 02:45

JavaScript does case sensitive strong comparison...

It looks like C# to me.

This is awesome. I didn't even know Voat was built using .NET, even better.

OMG

I never even saw it coming.

This is what I was expecting when I saw "spoon."

I got a 404 on that link but found the code here: https://github.com/voat/voat/blob/master/Voat/Voat.UI/Controllers/SearchController.cs
