Randomize?

Is there some way to randomize the order of search results? So that it doesn't always return the same set?

If possible... it seems like having "order:random" should be the way to get it. (I've tried typing that in... innitially it did give me different results from not including it... but when I tried it again, it gave me the same results as the first time. No idea how it ended up arranging them when I did that.)

Personally I don't see much use for something like that. When I run a search, I WANT the newest posts to come up first, because they're the ones I haven't already seen.

I suppose it could serve as a fapping aid for jaded gentlefolk.

Then again it might be interesting. Sometimes I just search for a tag and want to see a random picture from the archives with that tag. I wouldn't use it a ton, but it could be a nice feature. I don't really understand how search caching is implement though, so it could fuck that up, or at least not be easily cacheable.

From a data standpoint, the easiest way to implement this would simply be to take the tags you have specified, and choose a random *page number* to go to. True random, no, but much easier to code in, in practice.

select ID from whatever order by RAND().

In any event, there is quite many nice ways this could be attached, eg just brows by random by that you just don't know what you want to see, currently there is over 200k pics and :P brows em by tag will take a while, with this way you maybe could if your lucky find some artist you like.
